Special Mailing!

This issue of the Essay is being sent to everyone on the SA mailing list, as an exception to the usual practice of sending to subscribers only. It was decided that it is in the best interest of the Fellowship that the largest possible number of members be made aware of the historic changes in the SA service structure (see “SA Fellowship ‘Comes of Age’ at Phoenix Conference” for a detailed report) and have a chance to respond to the Literature Committee’s “Call for Member Stories.” In addition, we hope to generate interest in the newsletter and encourage subscriptions.

From the Editor

More and more regions and countries are putting out their own SA newsletters. In order to maintain an International Central Office archive and to share them with the whole fellowship, we ask that you put the Central Office on your newsletter mailing list. We will also forward a copy of your newsletter to the Essay editor. Depending on space available, articles of general interest may, with your permission, be reproduced in the Essay.

From the Editor’s Wife

Take it from me… many members would be interested in a regular column on “building healthy relationships” in recovery. These could be stories on recovery within the marriage or dating/getting married in recovery. We would be more than happy to initiate such a column… all we need are your stories!
