Since 1989, S.L.A.A. Fellowship-Wide Services (F.W.S.) has conducted a series of membership surveys designed to better understand the fellowship and its evolving needs. These surveys have gathered information about members’ demographics, experiences with the program, sobriety, sponsorship, and the impact of S.L.A.A. on their lives. Surveys play a vital role in shaping the future direction and strategic planning of the S.L.A.A. fellowship, helping guide decisions that support recovery, outreach, and inclusivity. By participating, members not only contribute to the collective growth of the fellowship but also benefit personally—taking time to respond to survey questions can spark self-reflection, allowing individuals to recognize their own progress and identify new opportunities for personal growth in recovery.
