Coming in April:

Our next edition’s theme is “The Positive Sobriety.”  Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of taking the steps creates a desire to carry the message of recovery to others still suffering. This desire replaces the desire for gratification at the expense of others. We take actions rooted in a spirit of service and self-sacrifice to assist God’s efforts to build up those around us. The results are loving relationships with God and others. Instead of lusting that created a destructive and false imitation of relationship, we experience real relationships founded on SA sobriety. With God, all things are possible.

ESSAY is your magazine. It is your experience, strength, and hope that carries the message of recovery to the still-suffering sexaholic. Please consider sharing your experience with the Fellowship by submitting an article to essay@sa.org.
