Being of Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cService provides the backbone of MA; if there is no service, there is no MA\u2026 It is our responsibility to do what we can to make sure that MA continues to be there for us, for the marijuana addict who still suffers, and for the addict who is not yet born.\u201d <\/p>\u2013 Life with Hope<\/em>, Step Twelve, pages 58-59<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to service helps us to “KEEP COMING BACK”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We must carry the message or else we may fail in our own recovery and marijuana addicts who have not received our message may never find their way to recovery. Service work looks different for each of us. It’s important to find the right volunteer positions that give back not only to MA but also enhance your personal life and recovery. For more information contact us, we are happy to offer guidance about the many ways to be of service Support@MA12.org<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The spirit of service provides us the opportunity to practice the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps and deeply benefit our individual recovery, as well as the recovery of every MA member. Marijuana Anonymous could not function without the dedication of our members who commit to giving back what was so freely given to them. Giving back to others by being of service, sponsoring, and sharing our experience, strength, and hope have been the crucial pieces that complete the puzzle of long-term sobriety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot keep the gifts the program has given us unless we give them away to others. We share our experiences and learn from each other. None of us can survive, and the fellowship cannot endure, unless we carry the message of recovery. We have found that those who keep coming back to the fellowship have a better chance of staying clean and sober.\u201d – Life with Hope<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
