Dear Essay,
Sylvia J. in Oklahoma, USA said “join SA and see the world.” I have just spent a month sharing at conventions, workshops and with individuals the joys of recovery. I have been in Italy, Switzerland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria, and Germany. Wow! The friends I have made and the old SA friends I have seen. This is intimacy at its finest.
And what an amazing trip this was. In a workshop last weekend we had 23 people from Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Armenia. We worked in four days in Poland and two days in Slovakia besides the scheduled workshop weekend in Ukraine and a weekend in Budapest. They are taking such good care of me.
