An extract from the 12 and 12 reminds us that with God's help and by working the 12 Steps we can face our current situation with faith rather than fear. A number of articles concentrate on how individual groups have responded to closures by going online. Also included are two articles from a sponsor and her sponsee describing how Covid-19 was not going to get in the way of Step work!
An article from the Grapevine has also been reprinted as it concentrates on another mode of communication which people may prefer to use in this time of uncertainty - the telephone.
For nearly 70 years Roundabout has been described as a meeting for those who could not get to a meeting. For the first time ever that now applies to all of us. The RSC thank those members who responded so quickly over the last few days by writing in and it seems fitting to note that the message contained in the reprinted Roundabout article from July 1985 is as true today as it was 35 years ago - writing into Roundabout is a way of doing service.
Putting your experience, strength and hope onto paper ensures that the hand of friendship still reaches the still suffering alcoholic. That has never been so important as it is now.
