Service - Step 12

Recently I was asked to be the speaker and share "my story" at an OA meeting. I have shared my story once before, so I was less nervous this time. Sitting at the table, looking out at the faces in the group while simultaneously hearing the readings, I had a profound experience. As I saw the feelings appear on the faces of the people in the group; sadness, hopelessness, despair, joy, hopefulness , I realized completely that I was just another tool in the H.O.W. program. My job was to share my experience, strength and hope and my HP could use my service in whatever way needed; I need not worry or be nervous or even try to say the "right thing." I was moved and humbled by this epiphany.
