The second half is always overlooked! People praise volunteering without giving a proper warning on what to expect. The article I read the other day is one of those. At least they arranged a good list of volunteering organizations.
Not giving yourself an option of a little mistake is certainly a way to burn out completely. This also works for substance withdrawal. It is much harder, yes, when a friend of yours goes: "I thought you have quit smoking!".
Truly a sensitive subject this is. Just read this post twice in a row. Thank you! It would be great to see a few real-life experiences mentioned in the text too.
