November 2023

Highlights from the November 2023 Issue:

This issue centres on service and participation, with a strong emphasis on upcoming Intergroup elections and the many ways members can get involved. It encourages members to carry the message through roles such as Vice-Chair, Telephone Answering Service Coordinator, and Conference leadership positions.

In “A Reflection on Step 11”, John C. writes about seeking guidance in simple, practical ways—focusing on what needs to be done today rather than trying to understand everything at once. He highlights the accessibility of spirituality and the importance of staying connected through prayer, gratitude, and service.

Another reflection by Scott F., “Stopping the Squirrels”, explores prayer and meditation as a way to quiet the mind and develop a sense of direction, even without clear answers. The issue also includes practical resources such as Step 11 prayers and meditation guidance, a call for Telephone Answering Service volunteers, and a proposal to introduce a community bulletin board for sharing events and announcements.
