We can help setup or clean up before and after meetings. We can chair meetings or take a turn as group officers such as secretary or treasurer. We can welcome newcomers at meetings and offer others our phone numbers for support. These are only a few suggestions. All of these activities are completely voluntary but many recovering people find them an important part of their own dual recovery.
Many members view service work and carrying the message of recovery as an expression of gratitude.
They understand that others are suffering the same despair and chaos from dual disorders that they once experienced. They enjoy helping others, just as they were once helped. They may eventually become sponsors and pass along the things they have learned and experienced in dual recovery.
