I understand how you feel. You need to put your sobriety first. I guess once you have yourself safe and secure then maybe reach out and try to help others.

I’m there every day. At least you have your dog. I have to be alone with me. And it’s not easy

I heard at a meeting the Triangle of "Unity, Service, Recovery: is equilateral because each one is not more important than any other.

That's not life. Sometimes a side requires more work/attention than others. For some depending on the sobriety journey it is Service .

The great thing is that my recovery is progress (just keep swimming) and not perfection.

You have to worry about helping yourself first

I can only imagine. I too would rather be outdoors with my pups.
I may be a stranger, but I’m here if you ever need to chat or vent. No judging. We’ve all been there. :pray::hugs:

That inner tug is real. Just don’t give up on yourself. In order to help anyone as we know, you need to be able to help yourself. Whatever you decide, we’re here with you

Helping yourself vs helping others
You're actually helping others when you are helping yourself. Because if you don't work on yourself and get the tools you need. How will you be able to help others. When I started my recovery journey I wanted to help so many ppl. I quickly learned it was not time for me to help others. I started about 2 years ago helping others. Even tho I had been clean for over 5 years. I had to wait till the time was right for me. Don't rush it sweetie you will know when your time is. Stay strong :muscle:

I pray your home is a safe place. I pray your dogs will help you cope with all this and I also pray that the chains break off you so you can enjoy peace and comfort. God be with you.
