March 2022

Highlights from the March 2022 Issue:

This issue centres on balance, mindfulness, and re-engagement as the pandemic begins to ease. The feature article, “A recipe for life balance: How about some Step Eleven?”, explores meditation as a key part of recovery. Ray N.’s experience shows how consistent meditation can improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and deepen connection to the program.

The editorial, “Ready for take off”, reflects on emerging from pandemic restrictions and the temptation to overfill life again. It encourages members to stay grounded in their primary purpose — sobriety and helping others — and highlights simple acts of service as essential.

Additional highlights include promotion of the 2022 Ottawa Spring Conference (“Together We Can”), archival history of the Richmond 11th Step Group, and ongoing volunteer opportunities. The issue emphasizes balance, mindfulness, and staying rooted in recovery as life opens up again.
