Service in recovery is not about looking useful. It is about surrendering ego, showing up when it is inconvenient, and discovering that the real blessing is in the action. If you have ever wondered whether you are giving enough, doing too much, or serving for the wrong reasons, this conversation will hit home fast.Rob , Larry, and Kurt get brutally honest about what service actually looks like in sobriety - from sponsoring men and carrying the message, to pouring coffee, giving rides, picking guys up from treatment, and knowing when to say no. They dig into the tension between sacrificial service and family responsibilities, the difference between helping and controlling, and why the heart behind the action matters more than the action itself.You will discover: Why service can become a trap for ego if you are not carefulHow to tell whether you are serving with a willing heart or out of guiltWhat step 12 really means when it says to carry the message, not just talk about itWhy simple acts like making coffee or giving someone a ride can be real recovery workHow to spot the line between being helpful and becoming overextendedKurt brings the perspective of a man who has lived the fellowship, the hard conversations, and the quiet kind of service that changes lives. Robin and Larry push the conversation into the uncomfortable places most people avoid - where pride, obedience, and humility collide.This episode is a reminder that recovery is not passive. It asks something of you. It costs you time, comfort, and sometimes your own agenda. But it also gives you something back that you cannot manufacture on your own: purpose, connection, and the chance to be part of somebody else’s rescue.Perfect for anyone in recovery, anyone sponsoring men or women, or anyone trying to figure out what genuine service looks like when life is already full. If you need a straight talk on humility, boundaries, and the kind of service that actually keeps you sober, hit play.
