Casper, WY
Our meetings are still small. Usually it’s me and someone else. I’ve been in contact with people around the country, but probably not as much as I should be. We’ve started to have monthly business meetings, too. It feels good to be sober, and the program works if I put it into action. Thanks again.

We are all fairly young in recovery, our SA fellowship being just over one year old. And we remain small with just a half dozen regular participants. I would like to add my name to the list of contact people for Asheville. I have been in recovery myself for 9 months and currently serve as treasurer for our group. I appreciate the work you’ve done and continue to do as well as the support and encouragement I’ve found in and for my recovery.

This Sunday SA group is an off-shoot from the Wednesday Metuchen group. The Wednesday group has grown to an average of 17 to 20 people while the Sunday group is already averaging 6 to 8 people. A lot of progress in a short time. We started the Sunday group in the middle of March 1991. We are firmly pro-California and Roy K. on the sobriety definition issue. We have been struggling with our sobriety as a group. For myself, I am still counting sobriety in days but I hope, and work towards, the great sobriety I read about from other members in Essay. I thank God for discovering SA and for the good people in the fellowship. God Bless.

When the SA manual was revised we got permission from Central Office to copy the section from the old SA White Book “Characteristics of the Addict” that was left out. We put the pamphlet in the front of every SA manual we sell. We have found this article to be very valuable and don’t want the strength it has to get lost. We think it has a lot to give to one’s recovery. Our seven groups in the Pittsburgh Tri-State Intergroups are working, thanks to God, our Higher Power.

Enclosed please find a contribution from the RI Monday SA group. Currently, meeting attendance ranges from 5 to 9. Several members come from around 50 miles away to attend meetings. In our meetings we read from the White Book. During the reading one person prepares three or four questions based on thoughts that come to him. Then we take ten minutes to write down our answers. During the discussion time those who wish to share their answers with the group. After the meeting those who can, go for coffee.

The Florence, Alabama chapter of SA has been in existence for only about eight months and we already have about ten members. We have just had an election of new officers. We strongly believe in the current sobriety definition because it works.
