Finding Connection: Jack's Journey Through Service in Recovery

A little help can go a long way, and something as simple as making a pot of coffee can make us feel more connected to our community and ourselves.
Ever wondered how small acts of service can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C. Moyers chats with Jack, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), who shares his personal story of growth through volunteering. Initially hesitant and even humiliated by the idea of making coffee for his home group, Jack soon discovered that these simple acts helped him feel more connected to his community and himself.
This episode delves into the unique challenges faced in the second year of recovery and emphasizes the importance of humility and service. Jack's journey highlights how overcoming ego and embracing service can lead to profound personal growth. Tune in to hear how volunteering not only aids in maintaining sobriety but also fosters a deeper sense of community and self-worth.
