Being more giving

To give brings joy and is a way out of a troubling situation for anyone. I never "learned" to give. But I was raised by at least one "giver" Maybe he gave me too much and I took it all for granted. Maybe being a giving person is innate, is human nature. One thing I experience is that to give brings me joy, keeps me away from picking up first drug and not giving as in controlling often lead to the opposite in the past. Thank you for this post Apollo_Cat, I hope you are doing well. 🌻🌻🌻

Old recovery saying: "Give it away to keep it." You can find lots of people to give to at an AA meeting and by diligently participating in this forum by sharing your experience, strength, and hope.
