Loner Member Coordinator.

Any sober SA members interested in being a coordinator for corresponding with loner members without groups, much as Matt is doing with those in prison, please write Central Office. Please provide a brief summary of your story and length and condition of sobriety, why you’re interested in the job, and any other pertinent information for qualification.

Computer Sharing?

Any SA members who want to exchange letters via the Compuserve computer network, contact Matt W. at the above address. Someone has suggested this as a means for SA to network together across long distances without paying hefty phone bills.

German Newsletter.

Excerpts from the last two German SA newsletters are enclosed with this edition of Essay. They have been translated for us by R.P. in West Germany. Interesting reading! Thank you, R.P. for all your work; it brings us closer together.

Three New Pieces.

Enclosed with this Essay are the following new pieces: “Covetousness—the Idolatry Connection,” “Walk, Don’t Run,” and “Lust, Sex, and the Marriage Mis-Connection.” Roy shares these pieces from his own personal experience for any possible help they might be to others, as he has done in the past. Your feedback is requested, as usual. Also included is a new literature list.

What Makes A Good SA Meeting?

Members have written a paragraph on this topic in a previous Essay (March ’87). If you want to share what your feelings are on this topic, write a paragraph on it and submit it to Central Office for consideration.

Eleventh-Stepping Other Members?

Several members have talked or written about how they have felt led to pray for other members and how this seems to bring very positive results in lives and meetings. Perhaps in our conventions (LA perhaps?) we can share some of these concerns and experiences and learn from each other.
