Join Joe McDonald as he explains the importance of service commitments and genuine connection in Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe shares how meetings before or after the main session are often the best times to really get to know someone. During the meeting, people tend to present the version of themselves they want others to see, but in smaller settings, like service commitments, people reveal who they truly are. Joe encourages us to engage in service and stay connected, as this helps build authentic relationships in recovery.
