It has taken two years, but our meeting has begun to grow. What started off as two or three of us in the basement of a church in the shadow of the Naval Academy has grown to six to eight committed members. We use a modified book study format and it seems to be working well. We would be interested in hearing from anyone from Southern Maryland or the Maryland Eastern Shore who is looking for a meeting. We can be contacted through the Baltimore area hotline.

Our 5th annual one-day conference was great as usual. Our theme was “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.” So our day was filled with trying to lay out the path. The keynote speaker had a terrific message of love, hope and wisdom. The S-Anon keynote had a great message of hope for S-Anons — “Got to be in it to win it.”

I am the treasurer of the Wednesday meeting and I am writing for a group subscription to the Essay and to give you an updated “where and when” of St. Louis meetings. The Wednesday group is very vital with approximately 25 names on our phone list and attendance around 10 per meeting. Sobriety is so very precious in SA. I am forever grateful for the SA program and also AA, the Steps, the meetings, a good sponsor and the literature. These give me the knowledge that I am not alone. My Higher Power can do it when I can’t.

Enclosed is a subscription form and money order for the Essay newsletter. We are a new group and would like to keep informed on what is happening in SA and events that members might be interested in attending. Since registering our group with the International Central Office last March, we now have three core members. There have been other people who have come to one meeting and maybe will be back some other time. We are also in touch with other groups in Edmonton, Alberta, and Prince George.

We are doing well in Western Colorado. We continue to have five regular members and are getting inquiries now and then from others. We are not cured by any means, but we are experiencing the best days of our lives because of God’s help flowing to us through the program. Paradoxically, we also experience some of the most frightening and painful changes at the same time. But we have each other and God to see us through.
