Here at S.A.Lifeline Foundation, we are busy getting ready for the Conference on November 17th. (We are SO excited for this–Register today if you haven’t yet!) When I met with Rhyll this past week, I bemoaned the fact that I had yet to write the Blog Post for this week, and worried how I would…
We are grateful for our guest-post today from Shiree, who shares her strength, hope, and experience in this thoughtful post. Thank you, Shiree! My brother had one more step to earn the Order of the Arrow in Boy Scouting: sleep alone one-fourth mile from the group all through the night without a tent. This would…

So, one of my favorite recovery mantras and self-checks can be found in this short list: Humble. Honest. Accountable. Time for some accountability. My life this summer has been unmanageable! I apologize for taking a break from the blog. There is no big problem going on, just 5 kids home on summer vacation and an…

Thanks to Charis, an SAL member who created the following post for her Twelve Step Meeting Topic Study. Thank you for sharing your strength, hope, and experience with us!
