There's an old saying that you can't mix business with pleasure. For those of us in recovery, this is simply not true. After doing an H&I (Hospitals and Institutions, where we spread the message of unity, service, and recovery to those just getting into their sobriety), these gents enjoyed a nice meal together. Here's the thing- for those of us making our way down the road of recovery, our pleasure IS IN the business. It helps our recovery to spread the word, to reach out to others that are struggling, and to do it as a team. To those around us, we're just a group of guys meeting up for dinner. To us, however, it's a group of brothers engaging in an opportunity for fellowship to reflect on the work we did, the stories we encountered, and to share gratitude that our Higher Power has brought us this far.
So, while the rest of the world is held in a limitation- not mixing business with pleasure- we are unlimited in our ability to find pleasure from the business and get joy from simply giving back to the program that saved us.
