A word about sponsorship. It is suggested that every SCA member have a sponsor, someone who has made some progress in sexual-recovery and shares that experience on a continuous, individual basis with a fellow addict who is seeking sobriety through S.C.A.  Would all those who are willing to serve as a S.C.A. sponsor, please let your meeting(s) know.

In order to keep our recovery, it is suggested that we can help others through service.  Chairing a meeting, sponsoring a fellow addict, or participating in local, regional or international positions are just a few examples of service.  These actions can break our isolation, form community, meet the needs of SCA members and meetings, and ultimately help us stay sober.  Consider making service a regular part of your recovery.

Matthias reports from Berlin …

I’d just like to share a great experience with you. Last Saturday we had a wonderful holiday event.

With 20 participants at an SCA meeting of nearly 2 hours, it was the biggest in history of SCA Berlin.

This was followed by perfect readings, performance of old-fashioned singing and dancing (Indian and French), singing of traditional German Christmas songs played by 3 great pianists at the grand piano, and at the end of this evening, a final singing of “Last Christmas” by Wham.

From starting decoration till final cleaning, a wonderful experience for 5 hours.

Yes, maybe a bit early, but fully loaded with positive energy from that evening, I’d like to send you my best wishes for a beautiful Christmas-time and all the best for a wonderful New Year 2018 in recovery.
