As active alcoholics we were always looking for a handout in one way or another. THE TWELVE TRADITIONS ILLUSTRATED, p. 14

The challenge of the Seventh Tradition is a personal challenge, reminding me to share and give of myself. Before sobriety the only thing I ever supported was my habit of drinking. Now my efforts are a smile, a kind word, and kindness.
