Even though my work schedule does not allow me to be available for regular group service, I do ask to lead meetings whenever I am there. I “fill up” on meetings when I am home. At work overseas, the time is spent studying the Steps and developing my relationship with God. The fact that SA works in spite of such a schedule is a testament to the power of the Twelve Steps. In August I will have one year of sobriety.

One way I could serve the fellowship occurred to me as I read the current issue of Essay. I would like to approach my home group about becoming a liaison between our fellowship and the Central Office. This seems like a need I could meet with my present irregular attendance schedule. Our group in Seattle averages 30 or more people each week. Once every six weeks I might consult the current treasurer and forward available funds to Central Office as the fellowship directs. Because of SA I have a new life and a new hope.
