One day I realized that although I had spent generously on my addiction, I’d been pretty stingy with my giving in recovery meetings. The selfishness and denial that had blinded me to lust also blinded me to greed. I realized that I needed to grow in the area of financial recovery. Today I believe that, as part of progressive victory over greed, my Higher Power offers me many opportunities to give generously.

Today I find freedom in random acts of giving: a generous tip for the waitress who served me dinner, $10 for the street person who asked for spare coins, freedom to drop a $20 in the SA basket and not count back the change dollar by dollar. When I give generously to the SA basket, I am supporting our fellowship’s primary purpose of reaching out to more addicts who still suffer.

In service,
