Gisele’s Story of Hope (Big Book 66)

Get into service: it is an important aspect of balance! When I am too absorbed with myself now, I can usually catch myself and laugh. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there is a whole other existence out there! When it’s all about me, life can get awfully miserable. When it’s all about what I can do to help others, it’s amazing. When I found recovery, I also found empathy. My eyes opened up. Now I can see where people are hurting, and usually there is something right in front of me that I can do to help.
