Now I’m dealing with another problem…a spouse who is antagonistic to SA, SLAA, AA, or any other Twelve-Step program because of the references to “higher power,” a feeling that the program doesn’t reflect Christian values, and (probably most important of all) her own fears of having to face that fact that I am, indeed, just like the people she read about in the material from the various groups, addicted to sex and lust. Got any suggestions on how I can share with her my fears, my continuing struggle with my addiction without making her angry that I haven’t been sharing on a regular basis up to now? Just generally, HELP!

What progress in designing an SA anniversary medallion?…I thought about a bronze medallion with the Serenity Prayer on one side and on the other, the symbol from our brochure with the anniversary month or year (Roman Numerals) in the center and possibly a motto, e.g. One Day at a Time.

The question being raised is whether we should continue the practice of giving priority to those who want to give their First Step to the group because we’ve had something like 6 or 8 straight First Step meetings. The thought was to consider alternating format so that those wanting to give their First Step would have frequent (but not unlimited) opportunity to do so, and balance the meeting format with our regular format. A brief reaction from you would be appreciated.
