GIVE YOURSELF RIGHT NOW

Those in recovery groups talk about seeing what he or she can “pack into the stream of life.” Many addicts and alcoholics initially think of themselves as pretty good people who just need to cut back drinking. If they have problems, they happen because of other people.

Yet as one works through the Twelve Steps, one begins to see how selfish and self-centered we are and how God has created us to be self-giving. Ask yourself, What can I do make life better for others? What can I do at this moment? What can I pour into life? How can I make a contribution into the life of people at this moment?
