Thinking of others doesn’t come naturally to most of us — especially in early recovery. Addiction trains us to live inward, to focus on our needs, our pain, our fear, our cravings, our story. That mindset keeps us stuck. Recovery begins to change when we start looking outward.

Thinking of others isn’t about neglecting yourself or becoming a doormat. It’s about stepping out of self-centered fear and into usefulness. It’s one of the fastest ways to break obsession, quiet the mind, and reconnect with God. When we stop asking “What do I need right now?” and start asking “Who can I help?”, something shifts.

In today’s Daily Trudge, we talk about:

  • Why self-centered thinking fuels emotional relapse
  • How thinking of others restores balance and perspective
  • The spiritual principle behind service
  • Why helping someone else helps us more than them sometimes
  • The difference between service and people-pleasing
  • How God uses small acts of kindness to keep us sober
  • Practical ways to think of others without losing yourself

Thinking of others doesn’t mean forgetting yourself. It means remembering you’re part of something bigger.

And that’s where freedom lives.
