For some unknown reason, service, along with the Steps and a sponsor, and working with folks newer than yourself, forms an almost unbreakable foundation for sobriety. C.A. NewsGram, Ist Quarter 2002
Service is the greatest gift I’ve received through this Fellowship. Service has allowed me to discover traits I didn’t know I had, like the ability to be a team member within a group context instead of the self-centered, egotistical maniac I used to be.
I can view life’s actions from the perspective of how this affects our structure as a whole, leaving behind my ever-so-powerful self-inflicting ego. I may not like my own thoughts sometimes, but when I place them on the table for the group to decide which direction we are going, I know God is working through me.
With God in my corner
With God in my corner, I can help others recover from this disease. Being involved in service is where I met those people with the gleam in their eyes and a sense of spirituality around them. I call it the “look” of sobriety. It’s what I wanted when I got here, so I started following these people around, doing the things they were doing. Miraculously, it happened to me, too. I now possess that light in my eyes, and I feel some of that same sense of spirituality in my heart as well.
Keep doing whatever kinds of service commitments are needed in your local Fellowship. Sooner than later, you will look back and realize you are not only helping the group by being of service, but you are actually enjoying getting out of yourself by helping others.
