Escape Suffering
We are working our way through a book recently published by co-host Buddy C.

By giving back to others, you give yourself a purpose. It’s a constant reminder of the fact that you are worthy of life, that you have something to offer, and that you deserve love just as much as everyone else. There’s nothing quite like feeling needed, and people who are fresh into sober living can certainly benefit from the lessons you have to teach them after you’ve walked the path for a while yourself.
There’s also nothing quite like the satisfaction of talking to someone when they are suffering. Sometimes what we need most is just a friendly ear. Never doubt how much you provide just by offering someone a friendly ear. We find that when we support someone who is suffering, our own suffering is eased.
Thursday, we talk about Escaping Suffering.
Questions to ponder:
- When you were new, how were you suffering?
- How did you cope?
- What parts of the program/fellowship helped?
- When did you first start to feel relief?
- How does service work help you with your own suffering?
- Why does being present to those suffering in recovery help your own suffering?
- How does your higher power play in being of service?
- What types of service work have you been involved in?
- Today, what is your purpose in life?
- Today, what is your higher power calling you to?
- Today, what is your heart’s desire?
- What do you have to offer the person who suffers today?
- What are your gifts?
