Endings and Beginnings: A Winter Reflection

Welcome to the Winter edition of the Serenity Times. As the holidays arrive and we see the close of 2025 while bringing in 2026, our theme for this issue is “Endings and Beginnings.” Inside, not only will you find reflections on this topic, but you’ll also find our regular features. These features include Sounds of Serenity audio shares in answer to the question, “What practices, people, and beliefs help you bring light and warmth into your recovery journey?” There are also our Winter clean-time anniversaries, celebrating the courage and hope that continue to shine in our fellowship.

The Serenity Times Newsletter subcommittee welcomes new members, as well as any contributions that help carry the NA message—whether articles, reflections, poetry, artwork, or photography. If you’d like to join or contribute, you can reach me at tinamserenitytimes@gmail.com. If you have a clean date for our Spring issue (March 20th – June 20th), you can contact me or Sami S. at shopkins344@gmail.com.

During the long nights of winter, my wish is that each find peace in what’s ending, hope in what’s beginning, and strength in the fellowship that walks with each of us through it all.

With Gratitude,

Tina M.
