The Richest Person in the World

My most memorable service experience was when I was a year and a half sober. Four of us put on a meeting at a Salvation Army building, which was basically for the guys on the street. We'd put on the meeting, pass out the sandwiches, mop the floor, and go home. At that time, I had moved into an empty apartment. I was sleeping on the floor, had no money, no job, no curtains--but I had my sobriety. After putting on the meeting with guys who were on the street, I went home, closed the door to my apartment, and felt as if I were the richest person in the world.
