SA members are invited to submit manuscript (one page) describing their experience, strength and hope in dealing with life's issues--anger, depression, fear, easy does it, ego, powerlessness, principles vs. personalities, the promises, amends, selfishness, self-pity, honesty, open-mindedness, willingness, tolerance, live and let live, service, or whatever else challenges or inspires you.
By viewing life's issues in the context of each contributor's program and by reflecting how the program has helped recovery, the book will aid members in their study and meditation on the Twelve Step program of SA. Readers will gain greater insight into what we mean when we say we have found a common solution.
Those among us familiar with meditation books published by other
12 step programs (e.g., AA's As Bill Sees It and Al-Anon's Courage to Change) can attest
to the value of daily spiritual readings. Now, with your help, SA can offer similar strength, refuge and
serenity by publishing its daily meditation book.
Suggested Format:
1. Short quote
2. Three or so paragraphs about the topic.
3. One sentence prayer.
Example:
"My Source of Strength"
"In a very real sense he has laid hold of a source of strength which in one way or another, he had hitherto denied himself." (Twelve and Twelve, p. 110)
Lack of power, that has been my dilemma. Not only am I powerless over lust, I am powerless over everything else.
The things that have given me the most problems over the last few
years of my recovery have been my income, the behavior of other people around me (especially my family
members, people I interact with in my work, and other SA members), and my health. The struggle to keep
things going, according to my plans, has ended each time with my defeat because I lacked the required
power.
Where do I go from there? There is only one place—the surrender of Step One. I take the
problem to the God of my understanding, who lovingly lifts it from my shoulders and reminds me that the
challenge for me in this life is to have faith—faith in His love for me and in His plans for my joy,
happiness, and abundance. And as I look back, I see that He has kept His promise. The money I've needed has
always been there (and no more)! My work has prospered. I was convinced that my sister was headed for
disaster, but it never happened. The SA meetings, the intergroup, and the fellowship at large are all doing
great.
Prayer: Beloved Higher Power, please let me remember that
I am but a small part of the universal plan and that You are the Master of it all. Help me to be willing
today to surrender all my fears and doubts to You, and to have faith in Your absolute love for me and Your
wonderful plans for my life.
