That's what I did when I got 3 and a half years clean and sober. Picking up cig butts in parking lots of churches. Going to 7:00 am meeting at 5:45 am to set up six days a week giving a blind man rides to meeting six days a week then eventually rides to doctors and shopping and much more. I did a lot. So I'm gonna have to up the anti dig deep. Helping anybody move giving people rides to meetings. I have schizophrenia been to `16 mental hospitals clean and sober never testing posative for anything. Got of a court case being deemed not sane to stand trial. That's how I got my license back. I also have bipolar chronic depression and anxiety and fibromyalgia. Just your garden variety mentally ill chronic pain person um no were all different in how deep were gonna where gonna dive into Spiritualism.
