Share August 2026

August 2026 – Share Editorial Dear Reader Taking a drink used to be the answer to all my problems. Heartbreak, bereavement, the disasters of drinking the day before, parenting, financial worries — it always seemed that having a drink would make these difficulties more bearable. I was always trying to change the way I felt…

Share July 2026

I don’t recall anyone saying, “DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and stop drinking” following any disastrous drinking episodes, but I think it’s exactly what my sister meant when she said it was time I went to my first AA meeting!

Share June 2026

It seems incredible now that I spent so many years trying to BREAK THE HABIT by controlling and limiting my drinking, all to no avail.

Share May 2026

I am experiencing a newly ignited gratitude for AA and my Programme following the death of a friend who didn’t make it to our Rooms.

Share April 2026

Camels are symbolic for AA because they can go without water (stay dry) for 24 hours (longer in fact!).

Share March 2026

I still have to remind myself to ‘TAKE THE CHANCE’ on leaving things in the care of my Higher Power.

Share February 2026

Early in sobriety I heard that one definition of insanity is to repeat the same mistake over and over again expecting a different result.

Share January 2026

Happy New Year to everyone! May I begin with huge gratitude for our outgoing Share Editor who has completed six years of sterling work on the Share Subcommittee!

Share December 2025

As the end of another year approaches, I find myself reflecting on just how wonderful the AA spiritual Programme of recovery is.

Share November 2025

If a spiritual path had been suggested to me before I stopped drinking, I would have laughed and ignored the idea.

Share October 2025

Having committed to working through the Steps in depth and with a deepening understanding..

Share September 2025

Making direct amends takes great courage and, for me, I needed a very strong connection with my Higher Power.

Share August 2025

Earlier in my journey, I thought it would be impossible to find the willingness to add certain people to my Step Eight list.

Share July 2025

Just for today is such an important phrase for me. Constantly looking over my shoulder and thinking “If only…”

Share June 2025

I will always be grateful for our amazing spiritual Programme of Recovery.

Share May 2025

I was terrified of Step Five as a newcomer, I was planning to avoid this element of the Programme completely.

Share April 2025

What on earth is a ‘moral inventory’? and as for ‘fearless’!!

Share March 2025

I was encouraged to take Step Three outdoors, somewhere that felt special to me.

Share February 2025

A major part of Step Two for me has been the realisation that no matter how hard I try I cannot be restored to sanity until I let go – but let go of what?

Share January 2025

And so another year dawns, full of the wonderful acceptance we can find within our amazing Programme of recovery.

Share December 2024

As we reach the end of another year I like to reflect on my spiritual progress.

Share November 2024

By the time we get to Step Eleven on our recovery journey, our spiritual awareness has often become stronger.

Share October 2024

I’m delighted to hear Share being discussed in meetings and some very forthright pleas for articles to be written!

Share September 2024

For me, Step Nine was about digging deep within myself for the strength to make those direct amends – and to find the humility to ask for support when I needed it.

Share August 2024

Unconditional love was not something I totally understood when I came into AA.

Share July 2024

For me, Step Seven is totally encapsulated in the Step Seven prayer (BB p.76). To have the humility to continually ask my HP to remove those characteristics that are getting in the way of living a spiritual life in the moment

Share June 2024

There is so much depth to Step Six. The longer I’m in recovery the more I realise just how important this Step is to my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

Share May 2024

Let’s be brutally honest here! When I came into the Fellowship, how much integrity did I have left?

Share April 2024

What courage it takes each and everyone of us to embrace Step Four.

Share March 2024

What a leap of faith Step Three requires. There I was – having come into this Fellowship full of shame, guilt, and hatred towards myself for my inability to sort out everything in my life

Share February 2024

Each of the Twelve Steps comes with its own Promises and for me I found such a message of hope in Step Two.

Share January 2024

Yes, it's another new year and once again January brings changes to Share magazine. We have been asked to trial making Share more accessible to our readers.

Share December 2023

The dictionary definition of joy is “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.”

Share November 2023

Share September 2023

How challenging Step Nine can be. Am I procrastinating? convincing myself that I will do harm?
