February 2023

Welcome to your February Roundabout and I hope you enjoy the articles within, as always, thank you for your articles that keep Roundabout going and thank you for promoting our Scottish magazine. As well as the written word we are always on the look out for photographs for the front cover (see page 7 for submission guidance) and if you are a bit of an artist, it has been a long time since we received or created any new cartoons. If you think you might be able to help out and fancy adding to our cartoon collection please get in touch!

After conversations with some of our readers and within the subcommittee, we have decided to continue with themed issues this year after all. For some, this helps to bring structure to submitting articles and can provided additional and valuable literature for the newcomer and those working through the 12 Steps etc. Please remember though, your articles do not need to be on a specific theme and can be based on your experience, strength and hope or any aspect of your recovery and experience in AA. We do produce the magazine two months in advance and so our remaining themes for 2023 are:

April - Sponsorship
May – Steps 6 and 7
June - Gratitude
July – Living Sober
August – You Are No Longer Alone
September – Steps 8 and 9
October – Came to Believe
November – Steps 10, 11 and 12
December – The Promises
