The opportunity to do service is an integral part of the recovery process. In addition to volunteer opportunities provided by addiction recovery groups such as AA and NA, there are national organizations that post volunteer opportunities covering a wide range of interests and skills.
idealist.org - Action without borders, Under Search the site, enter the word Addiction, then click on Volunteer Opportunities.
Volunteer Match - Under Search Opportunities, enter your zip code, the distance from your home you're willing to travel, and your area of interest. You can select Advanced Search to put in terms such as addiction or substance abuse.
SERVEnet.org - Through SERVEnet, users can enter their zip code, city, state, skills, interests, and availability and be matched with organizations needing help. SERVEnet has over 6,000 registered non-profit organizations, 35,000+ service projects and over 52,000,000 volunteer opportunities available.
Your journey has provided you with a gift you can offer to others, and by volunteering, you yourself continue to learn and grow.
Thank you, never thought I'd write the Mods, lol!

For me, being of service, I truly believe, has kept me from going back out there....again thank you.
