Volunteering and helping others will change that perspective. Because I am in AA I get that opportunity a lot. Whether its picking up someone from the rescue mission to take them to a meeting, the prison commitment I have, going to court with someone or just sponsoring. It is very hard to dwell on your own stuff when you are helping others. It is much easier to put your own pain into perspective when you are helping someone who has pain "worse" than yours.
