Sydney, Australia

We had our “International Convention” here on October 22, 1994. There was some great sharing about recovery. We had one member with over a year of sobriety and another with over six months. The others had varying times of sobriety. I had the privilege of hosting three of the members at my home. We are hoping that numbers will increase and our fellowship will grow spiritually and that we will be able to enjoy a quality of life which we know is available if we work the Steps and abide by the Traditions.

We thought it a good idea to start a newsletter to inform our members on what was going on in SA around Australia and around the world. It is a way of getting unity and maintaining it. If we work together and obtain good recovery we will have something to offer the suffering sexaholic that comes our way. The Essay started in a small way and is now read internationally. It informs the fellowship what is going on in SA around the world. We know that there is only one SA which is united when the members adhere to the sobriety definition as expressed in our world group conscience. We are privileged to be a part of this great recovery.…

We send our fraternal greeting to you and the Office Committee, also to our fellow members around the world. I’m planning to attend the International Convention at Baltimore in July ’95. Hope to see you all there.
