ESSAY June 2024 - Dear ESSAY - Oscar M. and Evelyn T., Bogotá, Colombia

Dear ESSAY, we’d love to share the story of our Loving Chair with you all.

Jaime Daniel is one of the founders of our group. 12 years ago, he celebrated his 24th anniversary of sobriety in another fellowship where he received a small plastic chair as a gift. He donated that chair to our “La Liberación” group.

Since then, the chair serves as a reminder to us that our primary purpose is to keep our doors open to newcomers. For this reason, the voice of recovery takes precedence in our group. It is our wish that this voice gives hope to the person who hears the SA message for the first time.
