To date we have 30 inmates who want to join the SA group when it gets completely organized.

…one result giving witness to His love for us — at Friday’s meeting of the 9 men and women who participated, 4 had a year or more of sobriety.

I am really so happy to have found a way out, after so many years of searching. And not only a way out, but a way to a closer relationship to God. All at the same time. I can’t believe it yet! But it’s happening to me, how wonderful it is.

I am 43 years old and generally sober since March when I joined SA and probably for the first time in my life.

Due to the enthusiasm and drive of a couple young men…, with the help of the psychologist, permission has been received from the prison director for the forming of an SA chapter. The director has stated that if there is adequate interest and if an outside sponsor can be found, he will see to it that the chapter has a time and place to meet.

The interest has already been demonstrated in that on the very first evening that it was announced that an SA chapter was being considered, 30 inmates expressed sincere interest.

We continue to have a stable core of members, and after each wave of newcomers, one or two more stick and seem to join that stable core. There is a lot of honesty and trust in our meetings, and the focus stays pretty much on recovery. Who would have thought it, a year ago? The message from Nashville, so far today, is hang in there and keep the meeting going — it does get better!

I just wrote two inmates in K.S.P., Lansing, Kansas. And sent them literature of all that you have sent to us.

…it really blesses me to see other sexaholics desire help. Inmates are crying for help to get S.A. started. S.A. works!

I still feel like no other drug ever could make me feel, for last night, I had the first real shot of a new drug. Called a S.A. meeting! Nan, through all my years of pain and suffering, I finally knew for sure that S.A. has been my true relief.

We had 12 men at our group, and it was a good (one), but (a) different feeling to be among a group of people who have the same problems, and to be there in one room, and yet get so built up. It is also different, because here in prison, where so many people are down on you for a sex crime, it is the Biggest Blessing from the Lord to be built back up!
