The Soul of the Sickness
Dear SA Intergroups: This is an announcement of SA’s First Annual Oversight Assembly to be held January 12, 1996 at 2:00 PM, at the Freedom Conference in Phoenix. The location of the meeting will be in your conference program.
I like a newsletter that talks to me, and find it encouraging. Also like the fact that feedback is welcome—found it helpful.
Through the grace of God and the fellowship and Steps of Sexaholics Anonymous, I have experienced countless victories over lust. Also, I have not found it necessary to act out upon my sexual addiction since July 16, 1991. For this, I will probably never be truly grateful enough.
This Fall has been exciting for our group here in Calgary. Recently, we celebrated the group’s one year anniversary with a large turnout. We added another meeting out of a need, bringing the weekly total to three, which are going strong.
The enclosed check is a group donation from the Quad Cities Sexaholics Anonymous. We are happy to report that although we remain small in numbers, we now have four meetings a week. Just as the Nashville 1990 “Courage To Change” conference was the impetus for our original meeting, the 1995 Baltimore conference inspired us to start two additional meetings.
Dear SA, Just to let you know that our SA group here in the far tropical north of Australia is thriving. We have four to five solid members with recovery of up to six weeks according to the SA definition. Previously affiliated with another sexual recovery fellowship, one of our members travelled to the USA and discovered SA.
(The following is an extract from a talk given by Roy K. at the Unity Conference in Orange, CA, on October 8, 1995.) Thank you for bringing us together. I surrender my ego, my fear, all of my defects. I surrender my preparation for this talk and we ask together for Your Presence above all else, that you will dwell in our hearts, be with us as we share together, the exalted, that we may be your servants, helping those who are lost in the tyranny of lust.
