Just got back from publix i had a lady walk up to me and say my name is ? (Forgot name) my husband just died could you spare some money and may God bless you. I said I didn’t have any to spare sorry. Now I’m home and I feel so bad. But i did have 8.00 extra dollars to spare but I didn’t give. I’m practicing being a better person and I feel like $hit now because I didn’t give. Please give me your honestly input please.

Maybe you did help more than you know. You don't know much about her situation and sometimes money can do more harm than good. Also you can still give by sending positive thoughts and energy and healing over her situation.

I want to say that not giving the people money is ok but also feel the uncomfortable feelings and process what it really means. I have times in my sobriety where something unexpected and on the spot throws me way out of whack. Like I'll get super unregulated. But I reflect on it and how I responded and try to slow down next time. Usually I panic because it's a flood of uncomfortable feelings I wasn't expecting. But it's a part of rewiring our minds and coping with situations while in sobriety.

I'm not sure if that made sense but your story reminded me of my own experience and I definitely got flustered and thought about it for a while so I completely get it.
