ESSAY August 2026 - Recovery is Contagious - Roger K., FL / Jim C., Pittsburgh, USA

Catching recovery occurs when seeking continuous service and rather than seeking self-gratification. While attending May’s Pittsburgh retreat, I saw many forms of service essential to the SA Program. Service, one of SA’s Three Legacies, was the first opportunity the fellowship gave me to put others before myself without self-centered motives. It remains one of the primary ways I use the tools of the Program and my Higher Power to contribute to the greater good rather than seeking self-gratification.
