"maybe i'll reach out to him today and give him a call. just see how hes doing, no mention of recovery. "
On 10 Feb 1980, a Sunday morning, I was hungover after a relapse and my AA friend Danny called to see how I was. He had sensed something was wrong, and when I told him, I remember him saying in his lovely Cockney accent, "I fort that might 'appen." He showed me what AA was really about with that call. He took me to a meeting that night. I never drank again.
You never know what good will come if you reach out to somone who needs help.
