Nothing puts me further from that next drink than working with someone else.
Ray, I will bet money, that while you were listening to your upset friend, giving freely, something of yourself, for just that hour you were not thinking about your own inventory.
I tell my guys, “I ain’t much, but I am just about the only thing I ever think about.” But sometimes, when the need is clear, I get out of myself and think about someone else. And it feels good.
I have a friend who has been sober over 20 years and he tells me he is just scratching the surface of this program. We have much to look forward to.
