Out of gratitude to SA for giving me a chance at life and love, I felt it my duty and responsibility to serve the still-suffering sexaholic as an SA Trustee. Our principles, gleaned from the growing pains of AA and SA, made it clear to me that SA wouldn’t exist without rotating service and leadership, so I believe it is the responsibility of every qualified member to sincerely consider taking a turn as a Trustee.

In my term from 2016 to 2020, I was involved in completing the SA Service Manual, Step into Action and The Real Connection. I observed, and helped a little with the establishment of the new Israel Region. I helped to recognize the autonomy and authority of local SA websites around the world. I took on the task of reinvigorating the SA IT Committee. I helped craft the SA Statement of Principle and its addendum, and to infuse it into all of our literature with hope for greater unity.

Working with my fellow Trustees brought both joy and sorrow. It was evident that we all took the responsibility as legal custodians and spiritual servants seriously. There was great fellowship in the unity of this mission. Occasionally there were strong disagreements, and I’m not happy with every decision we made. This service helped me to grow in love, tolerance, patience, humility, and acceptance. I’m grateful and honored to have served. Your turn!
