There’s a special kind of rush that nothing in my using days ever touched: doing something for another person in recovery when they don’t expect it at all. - Slipping a $20 gas card into a jacket pocket - DMing a guy at 2 a.m. who posted “I don’t think I can do this” with nothing more than “You already are. I’m up if you need me.” - Dropping groceries on a single mom’s porch who’s white-knuckling her first week, no note, just gone before she opens the door. No applause, no credit, no “look at Massimo the saint.” Just the act. Every single time I do it, something inside me levels up. I don't have cravings any longer yet my problems shrink, and my sobriety feels even more bulletproof. It’s like topping off my own tank by giving someone else gas. Science calls it “helper’s high.” I call it free, renewable rocket fuel for long-term recovery. The Stoics called it living according to Justice and human connection. Whatever the label, it works. You don’t need money or grand gestures. A ride to someone without a car, a “you’ve got this” voice memo, paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line who looks like they’re on day three; tiny, anonymous, pure. Try one this week. No announcement, no tag, no story. Just do it and feel what happens on the inside when nobody’s watching. Then come back and tell us (without naming names) how it felt. I guarantee your sobriety will feel a little taller. Who’s in for one random act of SOBER Method kindness this week?

Sometimes we find ourselves in boxes or seen as just one particular type of person. When we look at each other, it's easy to see the person we've already decided you/I are. We should practice the habit of seeing more than what meets the eye or what we've decided to see.. Humans are simple and complicated, beautiful messes and pristine, and sometimes downright stubborn in our ways. Ah humanity, what a ride, yes?

I forgive myself for past mistakes

I am strong enough to stay on this path
