Service Above Self

This column seldom speaks to topics
beyond the Rooms of Recovery
and the fact this day is observed
as Memorial Day in the United States
constitutes an outside issue
under Tradition Ten.
Yet the concept of service
so important to Recovery
is the epitome of this day.
Service above self can continue
for the serving and the served.
When the service leaves the self behind
that is love beyond, and our eternal gratitude
is far too small to acknowledge the service.
