As a newcomer to recovery, my awesome
sponsor introduced me to all the folks she
became friends with at meetings. She
introduced me to service work by inviting
me to work in the hospitality room at
conventions.
This opened the door for me to go
home and bake and bring my goodies
to many of my meetings for folks to
enjoy with their coffee.
It was pretty awesome to see from
a distance folks seeing me arrive at
my meetings, standing at the door
ready to hold it open for the "cake
lady" a name they gave me.
That became a humbling experience
for me to help overcome my awkward
shyness and anxiety. To allow others
to see me being responsible and sober
at each meeting.
My sponsor led me by example and
I followed because I wanted a life in
recovery similar to hers and others
and would do what I needed to do
for a long time till I wanted to do them.
Small steps as mentioned above is
a great start. There is no rush to get
it all in one day because recovery
and sobriety is an on going way of
building a strong solid foundation
to live upon one day at a time.
To achieve health happiness honesty.
