”Hope sees the invisible, feels the
intangible, and achieves the impossible.”

SAA
is a program and fellowship of hope. The 12 Steps give us hope that there is
another way to live our lives; a way that does not leave us under the control
of our addiction. In our fellowship we find hope knowing we are not alone,
that others have and are experiencing the same struggles, and even more
promising, that some have surmounted them.
We
learn that surrender is not failing but the only way to move forward. We are
not in control, not the master of our destiny, but it does not mean we are
puppets either. By living in the meaning of the Serenity Prayer we practice
working on those things we can control, namely ourselves, our thoughts,
attitude, behaviour and actions.
In
time we gain confidence in ourselves and are able to share our hope,
experience, strength and tolls we’ve learned with our new found brothers and
sisters in recovery. We become part of the circle of recovery, spreading our
ever increasing hope and belief of our Higher Power with others who suffer.

Affirmation
I
will rejoice in the hope that SAA has brought into my life and recovery.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
Book Sales
My first print run of 100 copies sold out, but I have had a second printing of an additional 250 copies done this year. So more are available, now at a cost of $20 CAD. My second book, Twelve Steps for Everyday Living, is now available for purchase for $15 CAD. It is my attempt, based on my experience and those who've been a part of my recovery journey, to transform the 12 Steps into a tool for anyone to use to navigate the challenges and trials of life.

Review it? Do you have a copy and enjoy what you have read? Can you help me promote it by leaving a good review at Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939460-lean-on-me)? Thanks for your support.
In other news, after a long debate and some peer pressure, I have started a second blog, along the same vein as Lean on Me, but in my second language. You can check it out here - Tomber dans l'appui.
