D.K., of Stamford, CT, tells us: “I think that every time any of us carries the message to a newcomer, each of us founds SA anew. Each of us does this to save ourselves, to learn a way of life in between the misery of succumbing, and the agony of resisting, a way of life that is peaceful and free from lust.
N.J., of Macon, GA, says: “…The other $60.00 is $20.00 each for November, December, and January with love, to carry the SA message. We now have one man who has six months’ sobriety. We have had four members for the last three months. We remember you often in our prayers.”
P.C., of Arlington, VA, reports: “Things seem to be going pretty well here in the Washington, DC, area. That is to say, we now have SA groups meeting on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. The largest of these seems to be the Thursday group with about 18-20 members, followed by Saturday and Tuesday with about 8-10.
F.H., of Pharr, TX: “Greetings from SA in South Texas. We are still here. (Small—but still here.)…”
M.G., of Larned, KS, reports: “First off, we are a new SA group. At present we have two members and one social worker (sits in but does not talk—he’s learning).
Saturday April 26th was a day to be remembered in New York City SA. The following is a report from John H.:
Happy New Year! And what a year we have to look back on and forward to!
S.J., of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, writes, “I enjoyed everyone being here for the Retreat. It was a real spiritual high for me. Thanks for coming.”
The number of S-Anon inquiries to the SA Central Office has been steadily increasing, along with the SA inquiries. Usually, wives of sexaholics call or write in asking for help. From the beginning of SA, we have been referring them to the closest group or individual with whom they can talk or meet.
Are you including Traditions Meetings in your local meeting schedules? We’re finding increasingly a need to study the Twelve Traditions as part of our group process of recovery. Some groups will alternate once a month in the Step Study meeting by holding one meeting a month on the Traditions, reading from the Twelve and Twelve one Tradition and then sharing it (see enclosed paper regarding meetings).
