Send In Your Experience, Strength, and Hope
We’re asking sober SA members to send in personal articles telling of their experience, strength, and hope so we can see how people are doing and perhaps share them with others.
Personal
I’ve been rediscovering the second half of the First Step lately. My emotional life is unmanageable.
For Those Having a Hard Time With Sobriety
Most SA groups experience a common dilemma: Many walk through the doors, but few achieve lasting sexual sobriety. This matter is constantly on our hearts, and we should seek God individually and collectively in this matter.
Salt Lake City Get-Together
The Salt Lake City, Utah groups are holding a combined get-together June 1-3 in Salt Lake City and are inviting all other SA members and any S-Anon spouses to join them in a retreat of meetings and fellowship.
New Groups
Are you listed with GSO? If not, please provide us with the name, address and phone number of the group contact person for our GSO mailing list.
Group Inventory
Perhaps now is the time for us not only to take an SA inventory, but for us to take our group inventories, based on the Twelve Traditions. How does my group rate when evaluated against the Twelve Traditions? Is our main purpose to carry the message of what we are to the sexaholic who still suffers?
Concerning Publicity
Recently one or more members granted interviews with the press, which were published in a local newspaper but then picked up by other papers in the chain and by the wire services. One member’s first name and home address were listed in the newspaper article, and that member has been inundated with inquiries.
Concerning the December 1983 Get-Together
Let’s look at the positive side: First, the get-together helped get the SA booklet into being; and it has so far proven to be much-needed and helpful to many. Somehow, getting it together and bound, even in the form that it is, puts SA into a position it didn’t have before.
SA Inventory
1. You. How are you doing? Are you sober? According to the SA concept of sexual sobriety? How long? Are you comfortable with it? If you’d care to, we’d love to have you write something about where you’re at or what’s been happening in you in the Program.
Editor’s Corner
Dear SA Friends, I’d like to take this opportunity, the publication of our first brochure, to say hello to all our friends in SA—those with whom we have been communicating as well as those with whom we’ve been out of touch.
