Inspire the Fellowship

By Sharing a Story, Poem, Essay, History, Criticism or Humor

Central Bulletin, the oldest AA newsletter in the world, is seeking people to anonymously contribute AA-related stories of recovery for inclusion in an upcoming issue. If selected, your article may be shared in print, email and on aacle.org. Share your experience, strength and hope on recovery topics like the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, getting sober, living sober, fear, humility, making amends, resentments, sponsorship, and more. Don't worry, you don’t have to be a professional writer. We will apply standard editing practices as needed. Experience a new way of “giving it away to keep it.” And, help the newcomer and long-timer alike find encouragement and support with your contribution. You never know, it could also be a great investment in your own recovery as well.
