January 2022

Highlights from the January 2022 Issue:

This issue focuses on renewal, connection, and beginning again. The feature article, “A meeting is a meeting is a meeting”, reflects on the disruption caused by COVID-19 and the gradual return to in-person meetings. It emphasizes the importance of physical connection in recovery, while acknowledging the evolving landscape of Zoom, hybrid, and in-person formats.

The editorial, “A clean slate” by Jeff F, sets a tone of fresh beginnings for the new year. It encourages letting go of past mistakes, embracing the present moment, and recommitting to sobriety one day at a time. The message reinforces that recovery is always “evergreen” — constantly renewed.

Additional highlights include a detailed history of the Westboro Big Book Study Group, a call for service within Intergroup, and early promotion of the 2022 Spring Conference. The issue emphasizes gratitude, presence, and the power of starting over.
