P is for Purpose. What is your purpose in life? My primary purpose is to carry the message of recovery. I was told to share my experience, strength, and hope with others. If I didn't give away what I had, I couldn't keep it. Relapse is not an option for me, so it was important for me to do the do things suggested to me. I took them under perusal and took what was good for me and I was told to put the rest on a shelf. I found I needed things from that shelf, either for myself or to pass onto others.
