How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? Michael Stoller, in his heartfelt episode 'What Can I Do For You Today?', shares a touching tribute to his late friend, John Staub. Michael reminisces about John's thoughtful gesture of asking, 'What can I do for you today?'—a question that has left a lasting impact on him.

As Michael recounts his experiences, he opens up about the struggle to accept help and the societal tendency to shy away from asking for it. In a world where independence is often prized over vulnerability, Michael's reflections offer a refreshing perspective on the power of giving and receiving support. Through personal anecdotes, Michael highlights the importance of reaching out and offering genuine help to those around us.

His tradition of sending audio messages to John's wife, Taryn, serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring connections we hold with loved ones, even after they're gone. This episode is not just about honouring John's memory but also about encouraging listeners to embrace the kindness of others and to be open to the possibility of helping or being helped. Michael's story is a gentle nudge for us all to reconsider how we interact with those we care about.

Could asking someone 'What can I do for you today?' become a part of your daily routine? By doing so, we might just find that helping others can be as fulfilling as receiving help ourselves. So, what can you do for someone today?
