You may want to visit several congregations before you find one that feels best for you. Of course, beware of cults and fanatics that offer a quick and easy fix if you surrender blindly to their leaders. Get involved in volunteer activities where your contributions are meaningful and appreciated. Helping others is a good way to help ourselves. It gives meaning, structure and an additional reason to be strong.
Volunteer work provides plenty of contact with others.
Avoid volunteering where there is close contact with temptations. For example, an ex-alcoholic should avoid volunteering next door to where drinking buddies hang out. Many addicts find it necessary to end contact with addiction buddies. Take care of yourself . Have appropriate concern for your appearance.
