Schedule

11:00 -11:15 AM
Registration and Fellowship Greeting and speaking with old &
new recovering friends.

11:15 AM -12:15 PM
Opening Meeting / Keynote Speaker(s) on the Theme

12:30 PM -1:30 PM
Session 1: Humor in Recovery. Sex & love addiction can cause so much pain and suffering and sometimes death. What is so funny about that? Many find that by sharing our antics/stories we put a light on just how extreme our thinking/actions can be in the
midst of addiction. In recovery we can laugh with each other, keep things in perspective, and experience new emotions. This session is about how bringing humor and laughing into our lives has played a part in our recovery and healing.

1:45 – 2:45 PM
Session 2: Acting Out/In vs. Recovery. “Acting Out” is to engage in addictive behavior. “Acting In” is to engage in actions that are isolating or withdrawing in nature. Both reflect avoidant behaviors that are harmful to us. Each person in S.L.A.A acts “out” and/or “in” differently, but with help from a Higher Power, our sponsor, and recovering addicts we can move to recovery too. The S.L.A.A. program can help us stay sober and start living a life without active addiction. This session is about how we recognize our addictive patterns and admit powerlessness over them. That allows us to get help to stay sober from our patterns and start living a life of recovery.

3:00 – 4:00 PM
Session 3: Recovery: the Promises. When we are more active in recovery by working the Steps, some of the promises can start to occur even if we haven’t finished Step 9. This session is about how the promises have manifested in our lives and what we do to keep the promises alive today.

This event is open to anyone who identifies as a sex and/or love addict or is interested in finding out about recovery from this addiction in the S.L.A.A. program

We look forward to seeing you soon!
