Is my recovery a dignified and humble beacon to others?

The author of this article knew Roy personally. He describes how he learned a lot from directly associating with him and helping him with service. 

He was able to notice first-hand how Roy was our inspirational and very gifted founder while at the same time a flawed human being, like all of us. 

Am I associating with  longer sober members, while being open to learn from them? Or am I hanging out only with those who are not really “walking the walk”? 

Am I at the same time keeping vigilant in not putting them on a pedestal? 

Am I looking for opportunities to help those who have been around longer with their SA service? Or do I take their efforts for granted and only take from the fellowship without returning anything to it?

Is my recovery a humble beacon to others?
