Enjoy this April 2025 edition of the ESSAY and take a load off of yourself. Yes, you’re still responsible for clearing away the wreckage of your past, but remind yourself that although Higher Power still lets you struggle in your character defects so you can grow and progress, you’re not responsible for removing them. That’s God’s job! Surrender it all to Him. And He’ll only remove our defects if we surrender them and ask Him to take them! So since it’s not all up to you, why not take yourself a little less seriously? In this Rule 62 issue, we’ve got broken chairs, bald sponsors, Best Actress Oscars, a hilarious business meeting, and an addict searching for one sock. And that’s just the theme articles! You’ll also find inspiring SA Stories, Practical Tools, A Look into Step Four, an exclusive digital-only CFC piece (visit essay.sa.org to read it), and an exciting conference report from Bogotá, Colombia.
