Helpiing Others

[caressa]

It was good to be able to share with someone today at my bank while getting a money order that I was a recovering alcoholic/addict and had a son in recovery. The woman admitted to having phoned and asked for help and worried about her son but hadn't gone to a meeting.

You never know when you can reach out and help someone. With my disability I don't get out to do the service work that I use to. I still go into our local jail when called. I just got two letters of thanks from the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. They have 3,744 volunteers and I am proud to be a part of that.

I have gone into the jail for AA, NA, and Al-Anon. I can see from both sides of the fence and have lived on both sides.

I can't get out and do the service I use to do, but I can come on line and share with others. It doesn't matter how small or how big a deed we do, a simple smile or a kind word can make a difference in someone's day.

If you stayed sober today, it has been a good day.

Sometimes the only service I can do is pray for someone. I believe a little prayer goes a long way. Last night it went to Baltimore.
