SERVICE!

So today is Maundy Thursday and I have always related this day of Holy Week as a call to service! What better service can we provide our fellow Addicts than genuine understanding and support in our mutual declaration of FREEDOM? 

I know not everybody who becomes a 6%er continues to come here and pay it forward. Also many of us have our unique ways of paying it forward: some of us can only be found in the Forums, others are in Group participation and a rare gem of a Blog, and some of us have our Friends that we visit daily with love and support. I commend each of you who are paying forward the gift of support and encouragement that you were given when you first started out! And I Thank each and every one of the folks who were there for me! I will never forget them! 

Service is what makes this Community so Special! We don't just take what we need and run - although we'd be perfectly FREE to do so! We stay and offer help to the folks coming along beside us! That simple act of generosity with time and emotion has a Powerful Moral Value that helps us by restoring that Integrity which we unwittingly sacrificed to our Addiction! By helping others we help ourselves! So let's Celebrate Maundy Thursday and the Service rendered to us by our Friends as well as the Service we profer toward others! Some of my Dearest Friends are right here and I have never met them but on a certain level I know and cherish them most of all!

Thank You Friends for your Support and Service!
