The Art of Giving

God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
- Voltaire


You've heard the term "You have to give it way to keep it"?  In recovery the IT is your sobriety.  But how do we give that away? By being there for someone if they need us, make ourselves useful with service work, and by doing the next right thing.  This isn't just limited to those that you know in recovery, it's with everyone that you come in contact with.

Give a complement, helping hand, a positive suggestion, or even just a positive thought or prayer.

I've mentioned the "Law of Giving" in a previous post.  It's a very POWERFUL thing.
I'm happy today, because I can give away some happiness.
