Lord was a comedian who crossed the country in the hope of starting a new life only to find the biggest challenges of his life, not least of which was a deadly, progressive disease. Today, he's built a life based on solid recovery and being in service recovering addicts and alcoholics both in, and out of the program. Lord definitely gets involved. During our interview, Lord mentioned the 7-minute tune-up given to him by his sponsor. Follow this link for the tune-up:

GETTING INVOLVED
There is action and more action. "Faith without works is dead." . . . To be helpful is our only aim.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, pp. 88-89
I understand that service is a vital part of recovery but I often wonder, "What can I do?" Simply start with what I have today! I look around to see where there is a need. Are the ashtrays full? Do I have hands and feet to empty them? Suddenly I'm involved! The best speaker may make the worst coffee; the member who's best with newcomers may be unable to read; the one willing to clean up may make a mess of the bank account—yet every one of these people and jobs is essential to an active group. The miracle of service is this: when I use what I have, I find there is more available to me than I realized before.
