I love helping other people Jim, that's a huge part of my recovery, without that aspect to my life I'd be looking for excuses to drink. But I know that the first person I have to help is myself. If I'm not healthy, then I'm not in any condition to be helping others.

Tomorrow is another day for them too. I hope you'll take a little time for yourself to search for some peace and serenity.

When I'm alone, and when I'm grieving, that's when I seek support from the fellowship of AA. I try to open up and let them love me unconditionally, until my batteries are recharged and I can help myself, as well as reach out to others.
