my daily reflections…

to do things for others was never a goal back in the days of doin my dirt unless i was gettin somethin in return. the idea of watchin someone gain a sense of relief or feel like theyve conquered some task they had toiled with for a long time, was NOT on my play list. when i came into the rooms there were people who offered to help me and i asked what they needed in return, if they said anythin, was just get sober man, and im here to help ya if i can. at first i was all like ok, what ev; i knew they had some kind of motive behind their offerin. as i pressed forward in my recovery i began to feel the sense of relief practicin a new way of life felt like. and ya know what? it wasnt done all by me. the people who said theyd help me, helped me without demand of return. what did they get from doin the gruelin task of helpin my ass, i wondered. since those early days ive done what others had done for me without demand of anythin in return. i found out what they received was another day sober and in recovery. through service to others i get to continue to stay sober and in recovery. 1 day @ a time…
