Early one morning, as I was getting a cup of coffee at the gas station, I met a friend, whom I hadn’t seen for a while. He told me he had been struggling with alcoholism. He said he had been in and out of recovery programs, but he was finally getting sober one day at a time.
After we spoke for a little while, I gave him a Caring Coin and a hug. He smiled as he looked at the coin and said that he loved that it was made of wood. He gave me a hug back and put his coin in his pocket. I told him to remember the message on the coin and asked him to keep in touch.
A couple of weeks later, I received a message from him on my answering machine thanking me for the coin. He said he was still on track and that the message on the Caring Coin kept him going. His coin was hanging in his truck.
I hear from my friend every so often... He is doing OK and his Caring Coinis still hanging in his truck. He always ends our conversation with "...Remember Salley, You are never alone" . That always makes me smile...
We all need to remember the message You are never alone...don't you think?
