In order to help someone, we must be in a position to help. To help someone, we must first help ourselves. In order to love someone, we must first love ourselves. In order to teach, we must first learn. Today's learning becomes tomorrow's teaching. To teach something, you must first know something. Learning is mandatory in recovery.
