I wanted to share this one, it hit home with me.
Anonymous Gifts Of Kindness
As active alcoholics we were always looking for a handout in one way or another.
The Twelve Traditions Illustrated, page 14


The challenge of the Seventh Tradition is a personal challenge, reminding me to share and give of myself. Before sobriety the only thing I ever supported was my habit of drinking.

Now my efforts are a smile, a kind word, and kindness. I saw that I had to start carrying my own weight and to allow my new friends to walk with me because, through the practice of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, I’ve never had it so good.
