April 13 - Service

A twelfth step call is when one or two seasoned members of Alcoholics Anonymous carry the message of hope to someone who thinks he or she may have a drinking problem. According to one of our co-founders, service work is anything that makes a twelfth step call possible. Whether I am the member making the twelfth step call, or the member chairing a meeting, or making the coffee, or serving on the literature committee, or answering the AA phones, or greeting people at the door, I am doing service work. And although I may not always be the member making the twelfth step call, I am always the member making the twelfth step call possible.
