As the first iteration put it in 1998, The Outer Circle newsletter “carries the message of hope to the sex addict who still suffers” —especially prisoners and others who don’t have the Internet.  \nThrough TOC, SAA members contribute articles and poems that focus on working the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. It also communicates ISO news, regional activities, and other items of interest.  \nSAA meetings are encouraged to reproduce TOC at no charge and display it alongside other SAA literature.

But how can we be of service if we don’t know what our fellowship is doing?  \nDid you know that SAA is embarking on what’s probably the biggest change to its governance since our fellowship began? Or that the conference and convention are being split into two events? Or that a new group is now taking service resumes for national service?  \nIf you’re like most of us, the answer is “no.” That’s too bad, because, as Step Twelve makes clear, recovery is all about being of service and reaching the still suffering sex addict.
