August 1

The Joy of Giving

Some become depressed by disruption of the family, loss of job, or trouble with the law -- all incident to their addiction. Yet when faced with someone who is in addictive trouble, they are open and willing to help. When suffering people are so willing to help others, they are distracted from their own distress. This is the magic of the Twelve Step program. It enables us to look outside of ourselves. If more people would reach out and help someone instead of retreating into self-pity when they are in the throes of misery, the world would be a much more pleasant place to live.
