Aloha and welcome to the sobriety rocks podcast, I’m your host, Kirk Waterman. Today we talk about Coffee, Donuts and BS

Margaret Thatcher said, “There's always something to do to keep you from what you really should be doing.”

I remember how much I appreciated the casual atmosphere, small talk, donuts, and coffee they had at those first meetings I went to. It helped draw me in like a moth to a flame.
  
But, when “should I stay or should I go” time came, none of those things factored into my decision. I stayed because the community of amazing people, their depth of recovery, and the incredible amounts of service they were doing.
  
Don’t get me wrong. To this day I still appreciate meetings with extravagant, pre-meeting unity rituals. Heck, my Saturday morning home group serves one of the best continental breakfasts in town.
  
But, if the foundation of a meeting is built on pomp and circumstance, the meeting alone won't have the strength to support people who really need to heal.
  
Wherever you are in your recovery, I hope you have an amazing home group, an incredible sponsor, and a wonderful recovery community who are always knee deep in fun, waist deep in the steps, and nearly drowning in service.

If you don’t, please find them. Because coffee, donuts, and BS will only get us so far.

Today we close with a freedom meditation. So please, get comfortable, close your eyes, take a few slow deep breaths, and join me.
