Many of us first experienced the joy of service in early recovery when we started giving back to our home group—turning up on time, sharing respectfully and honestly, helping set up the room and welcoming newcomers. As we grow in the Steps, we begin to give more of ourselves and soon take on sponsees. Giving of ourselves—of our time and our focus—for the sake of another is deeply fulfilling; to be so trusted by another, and to see him or her get well is truly joyful—and great insurance for our own recovery too
