1. I agree, though I'd like to think we'd be here for someone who needs help.

I was one of those people in 2008, posted here when I was at my most desperate. I met someone in that position at the meeting I went to tonight, a guy who's been in the program off and on for years, but can't seem to get it. It's a beginner's meeting and he got his 24 hour coin. He actually brought up the topic, needed support and advice and I think he got it. Everyone in the room shared what's worked for them, and he left with the numbers of all the guys in the group and a smile on his face. I just hope he comes back.
