Our fellowship continues to grow. We are averaging between 20 to 25 a meeting. By God’s grace there’s a lot of healthy recovery with many over one year of sobriety. God is changing lives slowly but surely. I have almost ten months of sobriety—Praise God! I’m struggling somewhat right now, but I am using prayer and the program to get back on track.

Our Cleveland Friday night “New Beginnings” group continues to grow, with more and better sobriety. We are considering emulating the outreach programs that the Pittsburgh group has written about.

Contact with the professional community is growing, but acceptance as a primary resource in recovery is not yet a reality here; hence referrals are few.

Our Sunday meeting is very simple, very basic, but the growth in sobriety is truly astounding. We have been averaging between 10–15 per meeting and have four members with over two years sobriety. Several newcomers have joined the group late last year and early this year have been sober between 60 days to six months. For some reason, it appears sobriety is the rule in our group, and it humbles me to be part of it. When over half of a group’s members have over 60 days, it makes it easier to “go along for the ride” towards that so-called happy destiny.

We have grown from three regulars to five most Monday nights. We have the desire to stay sexually sober and we just keep coming back because it works. Thank you for your wonderful 12-Step program. Because of it, my husband is having to take one day at a time.

We have had our first meeting using the new books that you sent. We can’t thank you enough and we know that we truly are on an exciting work toward recovery. One of the most wonderful signs of what sobriety is doing to the other member is to hear her say to me “One day maybe I will be able to reach out to others.” She is even shocked at even suggesting that it might be possible for her.
