Guys,
Thanks for the responses. Many of you responded to the question 'Do you think helping others increases your chances of staying recovered?' with 'Well, duh!'. It was really more of a rhetorical question, lol!
I now realize that I should have asked 'Do you know that helping other alcoholics DOUBLES your chances of staying recovered?'.
A quote from the study: 'Among those who were helping other alcoholics, 40% of participants avoided taking a drink in the year after treatment, whereas, among those who were not helping other alcoholics, only 22% avoided taking a drink.'
I think this is simply mind boggling, here's the link again:
