ABOUT OUR
FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS PROGRAM
Unlike other groups we care about you and your recovery growth here.
With that in mind, we've been blessed to help spread the word by
doing a great program called "HELP US HELP SOMEONE ELSE". This program
was something that came to me one night a in 2001. Let me explain how this
program got started, and works today and see if this doesn't make you feel
the love here.
A while back a young lady came to me in the chatroom asking for help.
She was
on welfare, and coudn't get any reading or study materials to do
the steps
with. She had been to a few meetings, but because of her personal
situation
she found that our chat room was the next best thing for her.
She told me that
night, she felt she was lacking something. She wanted to do the
steps, and
begin her journey but couldn't afford to purchase the workbook or
the big book
itself and asked if there was anything we could do to help her.
Well, I made a call to the guy upstairs and asked him how we could
meet the
needs of not only this child, but the countless others out there
who would
other wise not be able to have the material.
As I was reading thru some of my daily readings I stumbled accross
the 7th
Tradition. I'd read this countless times in the past, but
something struck me
like a hammer hitting a nail this time. "Every A.A. group ought
to be fully
self supporting". As I read this chapter in the 12 and 12, my eyes
focused
on "You can't mix A.A and money. We have to separate the spiritual
from
the material." God gave me the answer that night, but the
fear had kept me
from acting on it right then and there.
I knew that we as a whole could make it happen, but we'd have to
follow GOD'S
law here, we couldn't use it but for one thing - HELPING EACH OTHER.
So I set
out to do some heavy praying about this. Talked to several
in my home group,
kicked the idea around with a few here and there, and asked what
the group
thought about it. I soon found out as we got a few love offerings
sent to us.
From that day on I knew that this Group was being led in right direction
by
the hand of something bigger and better than all of us combined.
This was not
of my choosing or of my doing. This was a Higher Power reaching
down and touching
souls and blessing them with that extra little bit to give back
to the group
that ment so much to them.
For the longest time I wasn't sure how to use the little money that
we got at
first. But that too was answered, soon others had come to
me asking for a
book, or other study aids. And the program was born.
Today this program has helped spread the word, and carry the messages
in
several countries and countless states here in the U.S. But none
of this could
have been done if it were not for that very first night, and through
the
love that is so genuinely shared here by everyone.
Now you too can help us help others by being there finacially for
someone who
could not afford something themselves. Together this program
works. It's a WE
thing, together WE ARE making a difference, but WE can't do it alone.
We need
your help. If you would like to send us your love offering
please go to our donation
page and read how, or use our pay pal link on the lead page.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - ONE SOUL AT A TIME.
