AMC is making a difference.
I know that every AMC group across the country is working
hard to help men keep their heads above the water. Every facilitator will know
the joy of helping those who are the casualties of ill health and social, work
or money problems. We don’t do it for any reward except to see our broken
brothers begin to heal and get their lives back but occasionally there is that
extra boost to our efforts and morale. The letter below was sent to the central
team and passed on to us. I’m pretty sure that such a letter could be sent to
any of the AMC groups. Please give yourself a pat on the back for helping that
one man who found the courage to walk through the door.
‘I wasn't in the best of places last night, but I built up
the courage and walked through the doors of Andy's Man Club in Pontefract.
Today I feel like a weight has been lifted off my mind. I don't remember the
last time I was up at 9:00 AM and ready to face the day! I don't know if it was
the facilitator’s friendly handshake while waiting at the main doors, or the
relaxed environment where I felt listened to and respected. I really wasn't
sure what I was looking for when I went last night but whatever it was, I found
it. I will be back next week and will continue to work and build to become a
better version of the person I was the week before. So yeah, just thank you, I
guess.’
