Service: What's it really all about?

It is important to be of service. Especially if you are trying to be sober. As a member of AA, I know that my time in service has benefitted me by keeping me sober. Without my sobriety, I cannot be a good wife, mother, daughter, friend, sister, or employee. It affects all facets of my life. I am on the hotline call list for the 52nd District AA hotline. I'm not even sure how I got on the list, and honestly, it interrupts my life sometimes. But if I do not answer these calls, someone who is ready to make a change in their life may not be brave enough to call back. I need to take these calls because other people helped me when I was ready. It is selfish for me to say that I don't have the time.

Anyone considering service; it is so important. Take time to participate. Anything you give will be returned to you 3-fold.
