Who is there? Online. Heartbeat.

How does the internet help you, reading, searching? What's clicking? Those are honest questions. 

So for something real vs. searching, find a heartbeat. 

You're invited to a meeting.

Shared - inspiration - does this "fit" with you?

If so, you, too, can share. Does not "fit"?  Come to a meeting and share your Experience, Strength, Hope 

From 

AA Twelve and Twelve, page 67: "... procrastination, which is really sloth in five syllables".  

Our common purpose

The Twleve Traditions.

1 Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon SAA unity.

Face It - recovery works

Here you are!

Guess what?

SAAMontreal has a minimal presence on Facebook, but ANY meeting that's face-to-face in 12-step recovery is better than anything Facebook.

THAT'S what!

The FB page is to help someone answer any pre-meeting question.

So, there you are. Have you been to a meeting yet?

May you, too, remember...

Are you.... Am I... ?

Oh yes.

The Third Step invites us

The SAA Monday December 17, 2018 meeting reading portion will begin work the words...

"The Third Step invites us"

Fwd: Tadada

I can relax, safe at home and work on my twelve-step work.

I can recognize a principle of recovery, that "It" does work if we work it - 

The Twelve Steps of Sex Addicts Anonymous.

Greene Centre holiday closure

From the Greene Centre...

We will be closed from December 24th, 2018 to January 2nd, 2019. 

Members have often had fellowship on such occasions as this. 📞 one or more persons.

Are you... for anything? Let someone know

Actions that are repeated may become practices.

I may practice gratitude every day.

With me, the truth is it waxes and wanes.

I may practice gratitude every day.

Remember to...

Do you understand this?

No? Go to a meeting.

Yes? "   "   "  "        "  .

See with your eyes - Feel with your heart - THIS IS NOT CORNY

I, a recovering sex addict, ask you to ask yourself,

"What do I feel, seeing these words?"

Now, what?

Up t' you.

Can you say...

Here's what you can say on your first step to recovery: "I'll go first."

This coming Monday meetinf

The reading starts on page 4 with

"We acted out in many different ways."

Sample: checking in text message

Hi. I had a good day today - some challenges, but they were no match for love over lust (LOL). Worked Steps 1, 2, 3.

That says some of it...

Start where you are...

Remember to 

"Start where you are. 

Use what you have. 

Do what you can."

"There are those unfortunates..."

Please understand...
This is not a meeting attendee of SAA Montreal.

Meetings happen with/without you

Meetings happen no matter what. They just do. They happen without me and with me, whatever the "me" may be.
When I am there, I can hear and learn. When I'm not there, or worse - when I'm not at a meeting, and/or acting out, I'm "deaf," "dumb," and worse (ill), so.

Be.
Heard.
Come and listen.
Option: speak and be heard.

SAA Three Circles - Three circles as a traffic light

One man's view:

A traffic light is pretty common to people on this planet.

Maybe this in relation to the SAA Three Circles, can help.

Try it, to see if this works for you.
