Make My Day!!!
 
There are hundreds if not thousands of people in recovery that volunteer to man the AA/AFG hotlines.

I do it once a week. Most nights the phone is silent...either good or bad...whatever...when one hand of an alcoholic/family member reaches out I hope I can be there.

Of course I can't give out the number...but my point is...please give your local hotline a call for AA/AFG info., a meeting to get to, bend an ear for a minute, or set up a 12 step call.

You are not alone...We are not alone.

Need info about AA or Alanon? Reach out

Granted we are not trained crisis workers but we can set something up for you when you are sober...It might be good I don't get many calls...but it makes MY DAY just to point someone to a meeting or set something up for a 12 step volunteer to call you back.

Okay! I hope that this shift goes by with you being able to help out another individual, and we are able to help you pass the time. Its Win Win at that moment!

I have just signed up to be a diverter and/or 12-stepper as well. Nothing beats service; I just finished a chair @ today's meeting...FUN!
