It feels so wonderful to have at last an SA meeting here in Greensboro, NC. This meeting came about as a result of our Higher Power expressing himself through the group conscience process. Four weeks ago, after much prayer, discussion and deliberation, our Wednesday night SAA group held a group conscience and voted unanimously to become an SA meeting.

Ten to 12 members attend regularly and we seem to be growing slowly but surely. We are blessed with the fact that several SA members from other cities have moved to the Greensboro area. Their experience, strength and hope and recovery have helped to build a strong foundation for this meeting.

The meeting strongly stresses living in the solution rather than the problem. We are using the book study format and chose to begin by first studying and discussing the Practical Guidelines for Group Recovery pamphlet. We thought it was important that our new meeting get a firm foothold in what SA suggests as recovery-oriented meetings. When newcomers come in, our study and discussion focus around the “Problem” and “Solution” readings.
