I am very grateful for all of the men and women who have served in the military or died in service for our country.
I was thinking the other day how service is such a big part of my sobriety.
Why?
Because the quickest way out of my own head is to be of service to somebody else. I don’t have to join the military to serve. I can help someone in the smallest way. When I am serving, I am thinking about somebody else’s needs other than my own.
Not “poor me, poor me—pour me another drink!” but—Into action.
A few weeks ago, I heard my pastor speak of service this way, “Our actions show our theology.”
Yes.
Help somebody else today and watch the ripple action of service carry forward to the next person through the one you served.
Try it.
Stay sober this day.
