Our Primary Purpose

March 2020

Highlights from the March 2020 Issue:

This issue centres on the idea of staying sober by helping others, with Natalie L. sharing how a 12-Step call helped save her life—and how that experience continues to shape her service today. The story highlights the power of showing up for others in moments of crisis.

The editorial takes a different angle on relapse, exploring how emotional and behavioural patterns can mirror relapse even without drinking, and how recognizing these experiences can deepen empathy for newcomers.

Other features include a call for participation in the Intergroup group census, encouraging groups to update their information and share feedback. The issue also promotes involvement in the Spring Conference and highlights service opportunities such as Telephone Answering Service and 12-Step calls, reinforcing the role of service in sustaining recovery.
