Sometimes I feel like I’m not helping others, does anyone else feel this way?

Idk if posting this will matter on Loosid because of the lack of response here but it’s worth a shot to get feedback.

I’m new to Loosid and I appreciate your posts and post from everyone on here. It’s helping me out things into perspective, even if I don’t say much yet or post often, this forum is helping me! So thank you!

“put” thing into perspective!

One important thing to know is that, by you helping yourself first, you’re setting yourself up to help others in the future. I feel like I have a calling to help people in different ways but right now I’m focusing on myself. If I can’t help myself how can I help others. Don’t get me wrong, I still try when I can and when someone needs me but I’m not necessarily going out of my way to do it… and right now I’m at peace with that. I need to go through the fire myself to then guide others.

We hear all the time that we need to give it away in order to keep it and all sorts of other sayings. The thing is across time that looks different... people get helped in really crazy ways. When I have been at my worst - sober - is when I have helped the most people and I didn't even know it.
