Schedule
9:30-10:00AM
Registration and Fellowship Greeting and Speaking with old &
new recovering friends.
10:00-11:15AM
Session 1: Connecting within Our Recovery Community.
Connecting with others is the key to getting sober and maintaining
recovery. It is difficult to do alone. Human connection is what each
person needs in order to feel loved, supported, and understood. SLAA
offers tools to achieve that connection such as meetings,
sponsorship, service, outreach/using the phone, and, getting current.
This session offers people an opportunity to share their experience,
strength, and hope of connecting and how that connection changes
our lives.
11:30AM-12:45PM
Session 2: Connecting Through Healthy Relationships. How
to translate our inner recovery experiences of personal dignity, self-
worth and self-intimacy into guidelines to use in relationships with
others. Others can be family members, friends, co-workers, current
or potential partners or casual acquaintances. Discussions about how
we connect and form health relationships with healthy boundaries in
recovery.
12:45-2:00PM Lunch Break
2:00-3:15PM
Session 3: Connecting with a Power Greater than
Ourselves. A Higher Power can be anything at all that a member
believes is greater than themselves. These may include nature,
consciousness, God, science, Buddha, S.L.A.A. meetings/groups, yoga,
exercise, etc. In our active addiction, for many of us, our addiction
was serving as our higher power. Sometimes we even considered
ourselves a higher power. In recovery, we instead connect with a
healthy power greater than ourselves, however each of us may define
this higher power.
3:30-4:45PM
Gratitude Meeting / Closing
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. Masks are encouraged, but
optional.
