Editor's Corner

Editor’s Corner

In this edition, members share their experience disclosing acting-out behaviors to loved ones. They share lessons learned from making mistakes and the wisdom gained from following the guidance from Higher Power, our sponsors, or from SA literature. 

Learn how love from an infant can shine hope in the darkness of despair, how taking time to discern prepares for a smooth amends, how Higher Power in SA can lift someone out of post traumatic distress caused by full disclosure, and more.  

Most times, all that can be done is to take an action of love long before any positive feelings follow. Yet they do follow. It has also been said that closer union in God’s will brings the internal loving disposition to his will even before action is taken. Sometimes those experiences come, and many times they don’t, but either way, continuing to get out of one’s comfort zone helps reveal how God wants to be served today.     

In this edition, members share their experience with positive sobriety and how it is reflected in their daily interactions with others. One member shares how positive sobriety is discovered only when living in God’s law of love. Another member shares how positive sobriety meant being ready to spend all his time helping his elderly loved one while on vacation. Self-care allowed this member to be more available to others in a healthier way.
