Many of us come to SLAA having\nfew healthy boundaries with a wide variety of addictive behaviors for\nexample: acting out sexually\, engaging in romantic intrigue\, and acting\nin – avoiding contact with others. Bottom lines help us to come to\nterms with our individual patterns of addiction. Identifying our own\naddictive patterns is a first step toward changing those patterns and\nbeing sober in our recovery. This session offers people an opportunity\nto share their experience\, strength\, and hope about how they defined\ntheir patterns and moved away from acting out. \n12:45 – 2:00 PM Lunch Break\n\n2:00 – 3:15 PM\nSession 2: Working Those Tools. We often use tools to get through\nthe day without acting out. Meetings\, Prayer\, meditation\, phone calls\nwith other fellows\, writing\, literature\, and other tools help us establish\nhealthy patterns for living to get us over the day-to-day struggles with\nour addiction. What tools do you use to support your recovery? This\nsession is about exploring tools of recovery and how people use them\nto strengthen their recovery. \n3:30 – 4:45 PM\nSession 3: Building Healthy Relationships. What constitutes a\nhealthy relationship? As we come out of the withdrawal phase of our\nrecovery we need to learn how to connect with our Higher Power and\nothers in a healthy way. How do we reconcile our existing\nrelationships\, form new relationships\, how do we strengthen our\nphysical\, emotional\, and spiritual connections in a sober way? This\nsession is about strategies for handling difficult conversations and\nstarting new relationships through our new sober lives.\nThis event is open to anyone who identifies as a sex and/or love\naddict or is interested in finding out about recovery from this\naddiction in the S.L.A.A. program. Masks are encouraged\, but\noptional. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon! \n  \nSIGN UP HERE\n
