SA Costa Rica Fell in Love with the SA Sobriety Definition
At the end of 2013, at a meeting of another S-fellowship, we came across an SA article entitled, “The Addict and His Fear of Death.” It impressed us a lot.
2022 SA Worldwide Membership Census
Every ten years, the SA Board of Trustees initiates a census of SA meetings. The primary purpose of this census is to ensure the fair representation of meetings in the General Delegate Assembly (GDA) across the various Regions in our fellowship. It also highlights how the Fellowship has changed and grown since the prior census.
One Day at a Time
For me, recovery means that my worst day today is better than my best day in my insanity. What does that mean? It doesn’t sound rational.
First Things First
I have a wonderful wife and three kids. I love stories. I love surfing. I am a long-time volunteer who contributes to the community. I absolutely love life and live it to the fullest.
No Fighting on the Life Raft, Please
Hi, I am writing this story for all the members who are not part of the crowd in SA. I want you to know that you’re welcome too in SA. There is a place for everyone in SA.
Live and Let Live
I used to love philosophy and intellectuality, hiding behind wise quotes so that I would impress women, get them to lust after me, and impress men so that I would be accepted. This all derives from low self-esteem of course.

I was just reading an article or two from ESSAY and I was moved to write about an experience that I had a few weeks ago. An experience and healing that would not have taken place without being a member of SA.
Singing the Slogans
Read how two Dutch fellows have fellowship and fun in making recovery music, and share their joy with others.
