Session 1: 9:30-10:20AM EDT
Coming Back from Relapse. Have you just returned to S.L.A.A after being “out there”? Are you looking for ways to strengthen your recovery to protect it from that part of the disease that is “doing pushups in the parking lot”? We welcome you. We’re glad you’re back, or if you didn’t leave we are glad you are still here. If you’ve been sober for a while after a relapse, we’d love to hear what is making a difference in your recovery now to keep you sober. This session explores the steps, tools and support we need to have in place to continue working our program over the long term.
Session 2: 10:30-11:20AM EDT
Keep It Simple. Do you suffer from black and white thinking? Does it feel like everything is so complicated and there is too much to think about and do? This session discusses how we can make our lives less complicated and filled with more joy in recovery.
Session 3: 11:30-12:20PM EDT
What does the Serenity Prayer Mean to You? What is serenity? How do we find acceptance? What are the things that I can change? What are the things I cannot change? We often say the Serenity Prayer at the start and end of our meetings, but how often do we really think about what those few words mean to us. This session explores the Serenity Prayer with its request from a higher power for serenity, acceptance, courage, wisdom. How do the words of the serenity prayer have meaning for you?
Gratitude Meeting / Closing 12:30-1:00PM EDT
