May 13, 2019 - Group Inventory meeting

On May 13^th the Monday night group, "Partager Notre Solution", will conduct a group inventory to review of the strengths and weaknesses of the group. 

Below is the inventory form we will use from the SAA group guide. 

All members are encouraged to attend and provide input to the discussion. 

Before May 13, copies of pg. 31, the areas we'll discuss, will be available at our meetings. Ask Joe or Roddy.

Also before May 13, members may write comments to the web page or 1atatime93 at gmail.com

SAA Group Inventory Form.

Take time to reflect on your group's strengths and weaknesses in each of the following areas. Briefly mention one or more concrete examples in answer to each question.

1. Staying rooted in the Twelve Steps

- Are the steps being discussed in the group?

- Does the group give adequate time for First Step Presentations?

- Are we emphasizing practicing the steps?

2. Knowledge of, adherence to, and fidelity to the Twelve Traditions.

- Are principles being kept above personalities in our group?

- Are we providing adequate financial support for our group and our fellowship?

- Are we always mindful of anonymity?

3. Newcomers

- Are twelfth-step calls being answered in a timely fashion?

- Is attention being given to the needs of the newcomer?

- Are we taking temporary sponsorship seriously?

4. Primary purpose: Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the sex addict who still suffers (Tradition Five).

- How is outreach being addressed by our group?

- Are we using attraction rather than promotion?

5. Tools of the program: How are these tools being used by the group?

- Phone list

- Medallions

6. Meetings (write in suggestions for improvement):

About now - and you. A choice.

HOME.
Meetings are a safe place for us to be and to learn from others and then learning about ourselves in our recovery.
We may listen, and share our experiences, applying what works for recovering from compulsive sexual behavior.
We refrain from judgment of another's life and experience.
We work the Twelve Steps of Sex Addicts Anonymous. Recovery includes fellowship during meetings and other concrete actions about the program.

ABOUT.
Tel:514-418-5920.
No one but you can  tell you whether you belong or not, only if you experience it. For some of us, deciding, getting to, and stepping through the door of the first meeting was a big step.
Not sure if you're a sex addict? Listen. At meetings you may hear about others' struggles, and maybe progress. At Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings are people who have an understanding. Come, listen, speak if you are moved. Come to six (6) meetings to see if this works for you.
Literature is available to learn that way. If you come to a meeting and listen, you will hear a way members share from their experience, strength, and hope.
Before, after, but not during meetings, please feel free to ask any questions of members to help you get acquainted with the fellowship of recovering Sex Addicts Anonymous Montreal.
