Holiday Survival Kit - Recovered 1129
Recovered Podcast
The 12-step programs offer many promises. Life will take on a new meaning, and you will know happiness like you have never known before.
info_outlineThe 12-step recovery programs include service as a major component. Members are expected to take on responsibilities in the group and to help newer members travel their own path to recovery. The reasons why this would be important are numerous. To begin with, helping other people tends to take the attention off of yourself, something that can be of enormous benefit for a recovering addict. When you assist the other person in making progress and receive gratitude for your efforts, this reward can give you an enormous boost in your own happiness and sense of well-being.
