Your Pathfinder is always in need of new material—your personal recovery story, reports of your group activities, anecdotes, jokes or anything else that you believe will help the suffering alcoholic in and out of the Fellowship. Please feel free to submit any such material here. If you would like to contribute, but are not confident of your writing skills, please do not hesitate to email, and a member of the Pathfinder team will be only too happy to help you.
You can read a sample copy of YourPathfinder if that helps!
