Everything has been done before and will be done again. Maybe instead of writing a book or making a video try volunteering. Put your experience to work and try to help others who are where you have been.
Anybody can tell a story, not many have what it takes to use their experience to help others. Addicts in the throes of addiction don't want someone to "preach sobriety" at them, they need a meal or a coat or a ride to the free clinic.... actions speak louder than words.
I was thinking at looking deeper into this.
I already do this when and where I can.
The problem here is there's not many places at all for these people to go. If I had the funds I had considered opening and operating and mens shelter/rehab/AA&NA meetings place. Unfortunately that is far from my reach at this moment in time. But my immediate thoughts were towards looking more into the volunteering thing.
For now I think I'm going to just see what the wind blows my way.
I am thinking along those same lines too. Thank you.
And I think a new hobby is in order. I'd like to learn something new.
