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

SUMMARY:Fall Gathering 2026
DESCRIPTION:Fall Gathering 2026\n50 Years and Still Growing\n\n\nSaturday November 7\, 2026 10:30am – 4:45pm (EST)New England Intergroup (NEI) of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous present:\n\nIn-person Location:\nGrace Episcopal Church\n76 Eldredge St.\, Newton\, MA 02458\nThis is a hybrid (in-person & virtual) recovery event \nFall Gathering Flyer \nSchedule \n10:30 am Registration \n10:45 am Keynote Speaker(s) \n12:00 pm Lunch Break \n12:30 pm Session 1 – A Vision for the Future of SLAA in New England\nMarking fifty years of SLAA\, this session looks forward — naming why the fellowship’s meeting infrastructure has lagged behind other twelve-step programs (like Alcoholics Anonymous)\, and laying out a vision for closing that gap right here in New England. \n2:00 pm Session 2 – Compulsive sex and love addiction behaviors also provide ways to distance ourselves from experiencing intimacy. Some of us can’t even name our needs. Beneath the surface\, anorexia consists of not doing something. This session explores the avoidant\, anorectic side of sex and love addiction. \n3:30 pm Session 3 –  Healthy relationships (e.g.\, romantic\, familial\, platonic\, sponsorship\, higher power\, self\, etc.) can bring challenges and can also be frontiers of exploration along the recovery journey. “It is very hard to achieve a healthy relationship if you keep the emergency brake on\, and the emergency brake is the fear of abandonment\,” as stated by a seasoned S.L.A.A. member. In this session\, we will learn about how to set (and maintain) healthy boundaries\, let go of fantasy\, and move from neediness to love. \nThe day will include registration and time to speak with other recovering people\, followed by keynote speakers’ shares on the event theme\, and three (3) 1 hr 15 min recovery topic sessions.  Come for the whole day or whatever parts work for you\nIf you can help contact: activities@slaanei.org \nPizza and salad will be provided for lunch. Some participants may plan to have dinner together following the event (everyone included). A list of nearby restaurants will be available. \nCONTRIBUTION: $18.00 – More if you can\, less if you can’t. No one is turned away!\nYour donation helps NEI continue its work to help the addict who still suffers.\nIndividuals can contact the Activities Committee (activities@slaanei.org) to register if they require financial assistance to attend \nREGISTRATION\nPlease register in advance through the NEI website https://donorbox.org/fall-gathering-2026 or via USPS using the attached registration form. \nCONTACT\nPHONE: 617-625-7961\nWEBSITE: https://slaanei.org/\nEMAIL: Activities@slaanei.org \n\n\nSIGN UP HERE\n
