Hey MX, I put myself in the VA for an attempted suicide. While in a locked ward I was with guys who where just like me, came from where I did, drank and drugged like I used to. I felt a bond like I did with guy's I rode with and in the service with. I started asking around if anyone would like to go to a A.A.meeting since I knew they had them in the hospital. I got permission, and with a guard of course took a few to their first A.A. meeting. Now this was the very first time I tried to help someone else beside myself and give away what I had received. I had heard that G-d helps those who help others. I had
my personal Spiritual awakening, by helping others I received my reward a reason to live.
