F.H., of Pharr, TX: “Greetings from SA in South Texas. We are still here. (Small—but still here.)…”
R.H., of Geneva, NY: “Our Clifton Springs Sunday afternoon meeting has accumulated a small surplus. We are sending (our donation) to you for world service.
“We will also try to find a way to ‘repay’ the hospital’s kindness by providing literature for them. That we might become more self-sufficient. The tradition of self-support being a way for us to grow up in responsibility and to not be just takers.…”
D.G., of Richmond, VA, writes: “D.B. came to me as one of his wife’s co-sponsors in AA and sat down to talk about himself.… As his story unfolded, I found myself identifying somewhat, which gave me pause for thought.
“Thus began my research of self to find some of the whys that made me sometimes feel guilt.
“Knowing another man who had similar problems, I talked to him. This ‘founded’ my suspicions, and the three of us got together and formed our group…we have gone down the line with SA and feel that even though we have only three, we are solid.…”
B.S., of Cottonwood, ID, says: “…Thank you for the information.… It really excites me to see others are interested in SA. Especially in other institutions.… Three other inmates of the Kansas State Penitentiary were also interested in beginning an SA meeting, and they asked for my name and address. Praise the Lord, and only by the grace of God, I have arranged it to where I can keep in contact with these inmates from other institutions!
“Our SA meetings are now in the process of being extended to one-and-a-half hours every Thursday. 23 members showed up last week.…”
D.H., of Henryetta, OK, reports: “Here’s the Tulsa Group’s gift for February and March, 1986. We have five regular attending members—one is in a drug treatment program and will be back soon. Also, there are four or five who attend occasionally. We have from two months (the least) to one year and three months sexual sobriety of the regular attendees. We are having some very good ‘positive sobriety’ meetings. May God continue to bless you in this work.”
G.A., of Reykjavik, Iceland, tells us: “Everything is going fine, we have a wonderful, strong group which puts sobriety first.”
A.S., of Newport News, VA, says: “We have a small group of regulars who are really working, and we have others who come infrequently. Help us with your prayers and we also pray for you.”
