Asheville, NC

We remain small with 6–8 regular members. It got kind of bleak over the winter when there often were only two of us at a meeting. However, we continue to draw new people. Many of them don’t return, but some do and that’s encouraging. The sharing is good and sobriety continues to grow — one day at a time.

Rochester, MN

We are small — two, sometimes three — but we are sober and grateful. Keep up the good work.

University City, MO (Men’s Meeting)

We continue to be a strong, committed group. As always, we appreciate your support. God bless.

Slidell, LA

In Slidell there are three of us and on Sundays the three of us travel to New Orleans to meet with two others. Quality of sobriety is growing as is length, with two members approaching a year. We are all “trudging the road of happy destiny” together.

Chicago, IL (Belmont Community Hospital)

Although small, our group has steady participation and I can say that much recovery and healing has taken place. Thank you for all the services you provide for us.

Bonn, Germany

There is a steady attendance of between three to eight members. We’re blessed with growing in honesty and recovery, as well as getting increasing willingness to work the Steps. The level of intimacy and love is God’s gift to us who didn’t know what in the world it was. Thank you for your support, especially through the SA literature. We’re also looking forward to hosting the German SA 1992 Spring Convention, to which you are all invited.

Buffalo, NY

Our Growing Together Group in Buffalo, New York has been successful in attracting additional members. Our local treasury is sufficiently large to send a donation to the national organization. One of our members has agreed to provide his address for you. If you wish to contact our group, please do so through this member.

Nashville, TN

We now have five meetings on Saturdays! Plus either two or three every other day of the week. It seems we are really sick here. There is a good block of sobriety in the three to five year range which helps us a lot. While it is hard to tell how many people are regulars, we do seem to have about one-sixth women in our meetings. On June 6 we will have a regional one-day conference with an SA and S-Anon speaker coming from Chicago. One day at a time we seem to keep getting better, thanks to our Higher Power.

Avenel, NJ

I am proud to announce that SA had a workshop at our prison for sex offenders. It came off excellently. We had 15 members from the SA tri-state area and our regular 20 residents plus 10 other inmates. One inmate is going home after 15 years of prison. This was his first SA meeting and he is sorry that he did not attend sooner. The good part is he got himself a sponsor and plans to go to the SA meetings. I honestly believe that SA is a very important part of our return to society to help us from recommitting and end up in prison again.

Escondido, CA

The Escondido Step Study Monday Night is doing okay. We have some steady people attending as well as a few new members. I was in Tulsa, OK two weeks ago and called the SA phone number. Was able to talk to a member who attended our San Diego Convention. Great to touch base with other SAs.

M.Μ.

Sunnyvale, CA

The idea of passing a second basket around (in our case, a second envelope) for the expressed purpose of financially supporting the Central Office was well received here in Sunnyvale. Curiously, within the same time frame, more funds have been generated this way for the Central Office than for our own group!

P.T.

Casper, WY

We had four people tonight and we even had a business meeting. The first business meeting in two months.
