The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

The work of 12-step can be divided into two parts: helping others recover from addiction, and practicing 12-step principles in all our affairs. The first part is helping others, which can be done in a variety of ways. One way to accomplish this is to attend and participate in 12-step meetings. By simply attending these meetings, you can support others on their journey and let them know they are not alone and that you care. When you speak at a conference where you are highly encouraged, you can share your experience, strength, and hope, allowing others to learn and benefit from your mistakes and successes. Even those who don’t like speaking in meetings can offer their services by arriving early to help set up chairs, make coffee, and stay up late to clean up. These quiet staff make 12-step meetings possible. The trick to this kind of service is to find a task you enjoy and then complete it without expecting recognition or thanks.
