"GOD AS WE UNDERSTAND HIM" — regardless of how you understand Higher Power, you're welcome in SA! It's not our various concepts of God but our willingness to surrender (or learn to surrender) to a power greater than ourselves that unites us in our common desire for sexual sobriety.
I’m Gene T., and I am humbled and very grateful to be sober in SA since December 30, 2008. And by God’s grace, I’m the committee chair for our International Convention in Dallas this summer (July 2025).
This personal experience at the EMER Convention was scheduled for publication in the December 2024 issue of the ESSAY but had to be saved for this issue. Be sure to listen to the author’s interview on the December 2024 episode of, “ESSAY Conversations - Beyond the Page” at essay.sa.org/get-involved/essay-podcast.
