We invite you to join us for an\nimmersive exploration of these often-hurried steps. During this retreat\, we will delve into the insights provided by the second\nedition of Drop The Rock book\, authored by Bill P.\, Todd W.\, and Sara S.\, along with SLAA materials. Our goal is to facilitate a deep understanding of the\ntransformative power through these steps\, fostering personal growth and the liberation from character defects.\nThis recovery retreat provides a supportive environment for reflection\, learning\, and connection. Join us for this deep dive into self-discovery and\nhealing as we work together to navigate the path to true freedom. \nWhat is the Drop the Rock concept?\n• The concept of “dropping the rock” is a metaphor for releasing resentments\, destructive patterns\, and character defects.\n• It’s a core part of Twelve Step recovery.\n• It relates to Steps 6 and 7\, which focus on asking a higher power for help. \nWhy is “dropping the rock” important?\n• It can lead to lasting change and authentic recovery.\n• It can create a “ripple effect” of healing and positivity on others.\n• It can help people move forward unburdened by their past. \nParticipants will:\n• Discuss the story of “Drop the Rock”.\n• Share their own experiences with “dropping the rock”.\n• Explore the principles behind Steps 6 and 7 and how Step 10 complements our maintenance of recovery.\n• Learn how to apply these principles to our own lives. \nThe process of identifying these tendencies and stopping the behaviors will not only help those in recovery but will lead us to true happiness and\nusefulness to others. \nAdditional Notes: \n1. In addition to SLAA Step materials\, we will be using some non-Conference approved materials\, e.g. Drop the Rock book.\nTo review the free pdf download go to Hazelden – Drop the Rock book pdf download . You will need this for the weekend.\n2. To hear the inspiration for the concept of Drop the Rock and the book\, go to YouTube:Sandy Beach – Drop the Rock – AA Speaker. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon!  \n
