I used to run to a meeting when I felt like that Steve, it seems to be the answer for a lot of people,
if I can't find an alcoholic to work with face to face, I can log on and try be helpful on one of the forums I use or phone a few people and see if I can be of service to them,
I also noted on p 84, it says, "Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help"
that broadened things a little for me too when I read it said someone we can help, not just alcoholics.
