Syracuse, NY
Truly we rely on God, working through our fellowship in our program. We take nothing and no one for granted. All is gift — and we thank the God of our understanding daily for keeping us alive, for our sobriety one day at a time, for enabling us to speak our minds honestly and with love. We realize we must be able to receive help as well as to help others. Here in Syracuse, we are striving to reach out to others, to share what we’ve received, for the sake of sobriety and recovery.

SA of North Iowa is active, though static in size. We meet every Monday night at 7:00 p.m. for two hours. Our group has a history of drawing members from some 120 miles or so. We have been meeting since 1986 and have gone from two members to about six constantly active members and those spouses that feel comfortable attending. We meet together for the first hour in a modified meeting format and then separate for the next hour and cover some of the other more personal sharing at that time. It works for us.

Before SA this would be the end of just another year. Now it is the passing of 365 days, one at a time, and some of them were really terrific. A big heartfelt thanks to the Fellowship for stewardship of hope.

I have a little over one year sobriety by the SA sobriety definition. When I first read your material my reaction was “Where has this been all my life?” It was a relief to feel understood. Although I come from central Canada I had to go to California in January 1992 for further training and by God’s grace was able to attend the San Diego International Conference. I also had a blessed time meeting regularly for the month with the Escondido group. But I had no group back home in Canada. Then God led me to an AA person who, when I confided in him, told me he shared my problem but through AA had also managed by the grace of God to come to sexual sobriety. We now meet weekly and consider ourselves an SA group.
