Dear ESSAY,
I enjoy receiving the “meeting in print” each month. It is an important tool for me to have and to use.

A real help on the basics of the program — a good reminder.

Each quarter I eagerly wait for the new issue of ESSAY to arrive. I enjoy reading very much. Keep up the good work. God’s will be done.

Dear Editor:
I personally find the ESSAY publication another important tool I use in my recovery from sex addiction. Although not a substitute for daily contact with another member, ESSAY indeed helps me stay in spiritual contact with other members as I read their experiences, strength, and hope. It helps me identify that I am no longer alone, and that there is a solution. This publication is part of the solution.
I have been a member of an SA group for over five years and have struggled staying sober. That is until I started working the Steps. Going to meetings and wishing for sobriety just didn’t work. As I worked Steps 4 through 7 and began to dialogue more openly with my spouse (an active member in S-Anon) some wonderful things began to happen. There have been many painful moments, but inevitably on the other side of the pain I am finding true growth. During this process, I wrote the enclosed poem.
Keep up the good work. Your friend in recovery,
Greg D., Ontario, Canada
