The ESSAY strives to be a source of experience, strength, and hope to sexaholics as one part of our Fellowship’s Twelfth Step work. The ESSAY is also a source of information about Fellowship activities and needs. The ESSAY is issued four times per year. Expanding the ESSAY’s circulation will also expand the range of articles, letters to the editor, and special sections to benefit our readers.

We urge SA members to subscribe individually and through their groups. One year (four issues) costs $10.00 US. Group subscriptions of 10 or more sent to the same address are $8.00 US each. Payment can be by check, money order, or credit card—MasterCard, Visa, or Discover. A return envelope and subscription form are enclosed with each ESSAY mailing. ESSAY can be ordered online at http://www.sa.org.

Our hope is to have themes for future issues. Later this year we would like to have a focus on your experience with Steps 4 and 5 and with Steps 6 and 7. What have the Steps taught you about your relationships with others and about character defects and humility? Is there anything you wish you had done differently the first time you worked Steps 4, 5, 6 or 7? If you are in Germany, Japan, Brazil, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, or Canada or any other nation outside the US, is there anything your language or cultural experience has added to these Steps?

Thank you for reading this issue. Your feedback is always welcome.
