Being of service isn't always convenient, and I'm like: fuck you, but it's true sometimes, yeah, and I really hear that about the universe, and I believe that too, and I love that you're allowing yourself to have your feelings too.
Why is being of service such a cornerstone in Al-Anon? In this episode of 'Cross Talk', Corey and Claire, along with their guest Russell, dive into this essential topic. They share their personal stories and reflections on how acts of service, whether big or small, can profoundly impact both the giver and the receiver.
From reading literature at meetings to taking outreach calls, the trio explores the many forms service can take and why it's more than just a program requirement. They touch on the importance of sponsorship, how to choose the right sponsor, and the critical role sponsorship plays in fostering trust and honest communication. The conversation also covers the 12th step and the pitfalls of romantic or physical relationships with a sponsor.
Additionally, they highlight the value of attending different meetings to gain diverse perspectives and how welcoming newcomers enriches the recovery journey. This episode offers a deep dive into the practice of being of service and its transformative power in Al-Anon. Tune in to hear their heartfelt experiences and gain a new appreciation for this vital aspect of recovery.
