Each month’s issue focuses on the relevant Step,Tradition and Concept with some months having an additional theme. All articles are submissions by our Fellows and reflect their personal journeys in Recovery. Each year’s January issue is of particular relevance throughout the year for newcomers to AA, as it contains members’ experience, strength and hope around Step One.
