“There is action and
more action. "Faith without works is dead." . . . To be helpful is
our only aim. AA big book pp. 88-89
I understand that
service is a vital part of recovery but I often wonder, "What can I
do?" Simply start with what I have today! I look around to see where there
is a need. Are the ashtrays full? Do I have hands and feet to empty them?
Suddenly I'm involved! The best speaker may make the worst coffee; the member
who's best with newcomers may be unable to read; the one willing to clean up
may make a mess of the bank account — yet every one of these people and jobs is
essential to an active group. The miracle of service is this: when I use what I
have, I find there is more available to me than I realized before.”
From
the book Daily Reflections
I am grateful to be able to take action and be of direct service to
others.
