Schedule

9:30 – 10:00 AM
Registration and Fellowship Greeting and Speaking with old & new
recovering friends.

10:00 – 11:15 AM
Welcome / Keynote Speakers

11:30AM – 12:45 PM
Session 1: Setting Bottom Lines. Many of us come to SLAA having
few healthy boundaries with a wide variety of addictive behaviors for
example: acting out sexually, engaging in romantic intrigue, and acting
in – avoiding contact with others. Bottom lines help us to come to
terms with our individual patterns of addiction. Identifying our own
addictive patterns is a first step toward changing those patterns and
being sober in our recovery. This session offers people an opportunity
to share their experience, strength, and hope about how they defined
their patterns and moved away from acting out.

12:45 – 2:00 PM Lunch Break

2:00 – 3:15 PM
Session 2: Working Those Tools. We often use tools to get through
the day without acting out. Meetings, Prayer, meditation, phone calls
with other fellows, writing, literature, and other tools help us establish
healthy patterns for living to get us over the day-to-day struggles with
our addiction. What tools do you use to support your recovery? This
session is about exploring tools of recovery and how people use them
to strengthen their recovery.

3:30 – 4:45 PM
Session 3: Building Healthy Relationships. What constitutes a
healthy relationship? As we come out of the withdrawal phase of our
recovery we need to learn how to connect with our Higher Power and
others in a healthy way. How do we reconcile our existing
relationships, form new relationships, how do we strengthen our
physical, emotional, and spiritual connections in a sober way? This
session is about strategies for handling difficult conversations and
starting new relationships through our new sober lives.
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.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
