Remember Mindfulness – send positive thoughts

Fellowship and connection

We few, we happy few, we band of
brothers; for he today who sheds his blood
with me shall be my brother.
W. Shakespeare, King Henry V.
Whether we have actually shed blood or not, all of us
addicted people have been in a fight and this
common experience gives us a strong sense of
fellowship and a sense of purpose too. For most,
doing something as part of a group or team gives
more satisfaction than doing it alone. Am I glad of
the feeling of team spirit and involvement that I get
from belonging to a Twelve Step group?

Attending a fellowship meeting and sitting alone at
the back of the room, do we feel comfortable? If we
interact with others, we are more likely to enjoy the
meeting and feel connected, rather than having
been just a spectator. Established members have a
responsibility to interact but we have responsibility
too. I ask God for courage to make the extra effort to
come out of my isolation and meet new people.
