Proper service is doing the right thing for the right reason
Ever wondered how helping others can be a cornerstone in your own recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Diary of a Young Addict', Mare, a 23-year-old recovering addict, dives into the transformative power of service. She shares her personal experiences and the vital role service plays in Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Mare explains the NA symbol, a triangular pyramid, where service stands as one of the four essential sides along with self, God, and society.
By broadening these aspects, one can achieve a higher point of freedom. Mare candidly discusses how initially her motives for service might not have been entirely selfless, but over time, she discovered her passion for helping others. This episode is filled with heartwarming anecdotes, like her efforts to create recovery packets for patients at her job, and the joy she found in bringing meetings to women's jails.
Service isn't just about holding titles or running meetings; it's also about small acts like picking up trash or helping a neighbour. Mare emphasises that these acts can fill your own cup while you pour into others'. She challenges you to do something for someone else today and see how it makes you feel. Tune in to hear how service has not only shaped Mare's recovery but also brought a sense of community and purpose into her life.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deeper impact of giving back. Are you ready to find out how a simple act of kindness can change your life?
