It's More Than Just Self-Help

Tom reluctantly admitted his alcoholism. His attendance at AA was infrequent and perfunctory. A young man asked, Are you with AA? I just got out of detox and they told me to go to a meeting and get a sponsor. The young man appeared so needy that Tom offered to sponsor him. He decided to get to know what AA is all about in order to help the young man. On his 15th anniversary of sobriety, he said, I am dry 15 years, but sober only 12. It wasn't until I entered AA that I became sober, and I owe it all to that kid. Try helping someone. It works.
