Tonight, four meetings were removed from this website’s meeting list by decision of the Austin Intergroup today. The decision was made after a month of deliberation and dialogue by an ad hoc committee, which reported to the intergroup.

The reasons for the decision were concerns with repeated violations of the traditions of SAA on the part of members of the Steps We Take Men’s Big Book Study Groups.

A new Austin-area women’s meeting is starting up this Friday, 4/13/2018 at 7 PM at the Unity Church of the Hills in NW Austin near Highway 183 and Anderson Mill.  Detailed information on the new women’s meeting is found here.

On December 2nd, 2017 we will host the Second Annual Speaker Banquet at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church from 6 to 9 PM.  This unique event joins SAA members and willing partners in an evening of inspiration and fellowship, including inspirational speakers including a program member as well as a spouse.  Last year’s event was attended by about 60 people, and this year we expect 100.

Spouses or partners are welcome, but so are individual SAA members.
