S.L.A.A. is Growing

The Journal is a basic recovery tool for S.L.A.A. groups and individual members, and it is a key outreach tool into areas that do not yet have an S.L.A.A. presence. Tradition Nine states that each S.L.A.A. service entity is directly responsible to those they serve. In the spirit of Tradition Nine, the Journal recognizes its responsibility to both its current readers and potential future S.L.A.A. members seeking recovery.

To reach more sex and love addicts that do not yet know of recovery, we’re stretching further than ever before. We’re looking for people with writing, drawing, editing, layout, outreach, web design, production, and printing skills to assist in the creation of the new, deeper, more refreshing publication. Please assist us in creatively carrying the message of recovery.

Executive Director

The Executive Director of the Journal provides a leadership example and oversight of publication functions, overseeing editorial work, outreach, artistic direction, and subscription services. The Executive Director reports the status and health of the Journal to the C.J.C. each month and monitors and promotes the self-sufficiency of the Journal in keeping with Traditions Seven and Nine. Candidates must have at least one year of continuous bottom line sobriety.

Editorial Assistant

Each Editorial Assistant assists the Managing Editor with the editorial process for each of the six annual issues of the Journal, including form, content, and aesthetic presentation. Candidates must have at least one year of continuous bottom line abstinence.

Marketing Director

The Marketing Director (also called the Outreach Coordinator) oversees the network of Journal Representatives in the interest of building the Journal’s reputation worldwide, building subscription volume, and encouraging creative contributions of writing and visual art. The Marketing Director also cooperates with other S.L.A.A. service bodies to reach out to sex and love addicts throughout the world. Candidates must have at least six months of continuous bottom line sobriety.

Fulfillments Manager

The Fulfillments Manager oversees the printing and mailing of each of the six annual issues of the Journal. The Fulfillments Manager also ensures the legibility, aesthetic quality, and durability of the finished copies of the Journal. The Fulfillments Manager will evaluate the handling of subscriptions and help execute subscriber retention policy. Candidates must have at least six months of continuous bottom line sobriety.

Journal Representatives

There are five things that Journal Representatives can do to honor Tradition Five in carrying the message to a world of need.

		They get subscription cards for the Journal out to members of their home group, other groups, their intergroup, local mental health care institutions, therapists, and recovery friends.
		They bring to the Marketing Director's attention any information that would help improve the Journal's outreach activities and the quality of the Journal itself.
		They help find S.L.A.A. members who could contribute creative writing or art for publication in future issues.
		They make sure that the Literature Representatives of the groups in their area (or the groups themselves for the those that have no Literature Rep) privide copies of the Journal for sale and for use as a source of meeting topics.
		They help build the awareness of the Journal as a tool for individuals and groups to enhance recovery and provide a bridge to the therapeutic, judicial, and religious communities to reach more sex and love addicts with the hope of recovery.

Of course, one person can't do all of that all the time, but each Journal Rep does a little each month, and the entire network of Journal Reps over a period of years will move mountains.
