If you follow the rule, you'll help others. Then, once you start helping others, you realize you will have plenty to give them and get this. It will help you too.
With the holiday season approaching, it's a great time to think about how we can be of service to others, especially those on their recovery journey. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers introduces an insightful excerpt from Michael Graubart's book, 'Three Simple Rules: Uncomplicating Life in Recovery'. Graubart dives into the importance of helping others but makes a crucial distinction between 'helpful help' and 'unhelpful help'.
He warns against trying to change others to fit our needs and instead encourages us to offer support that is genuinely beneficial. Whether it's guiding a newcomer to a meeting or volunteering at a local hospital, the act of helping not only aids those in need but also enriches our own recovery experience. Graubart's message is clear: we all have something valuable to give, and in doing so, we find strength and community.
Tune in to discover how you can make a meaningful impact in someone else's life while reinforcing your own path to sobriety.
