Desperation

Still unemployed, and getting more depressed. I am finding it hard to get up in the morning. Despite those feelings I am keeping busy. I have 3 volunteer jobs now. My bank account went below zero yesterday, and I have about $57 dollars to my name. I went to visit a friend for two days, and had wine at dinner with her and her husband. Then today I got home and got a call from someone more desperate than myself. An alcoholic who has been actively drinking and is now very depressed about herself. She signed herself out of the hospital. No one has ever called me like that before. I did the best I could with her but I felt like I was floundering. I made an agreement to meet her later for a meeting. God, we feel like shit and then someone comes along who is in need of even more help.
My spirit is sad. I need help for myself and my Higher Power put an opportunity in front of me to talk with someone else about why it is important to stay sober, and how to do it.
