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

What tools do you use to\nsupport your recovery? Do you have a set of behaviors on your\nbottom line? A Sponsor? A recovery plan with fellowship support?\nDo you attend meetings often\, read the Basic Text\, do service when\nyou can? How is your self-care\, spirituality\, and step work? This\nsession is about exploring tools of recovery and how people use\nthem to support their recovery.\n1:15 – 2:30 PM\nSession 2: Dating & Physical Intimacy in Recovery. Yikes!\nHow do we do that in recovery?! Many of us never learned how to\ndate in a healthy way\, if at all. Often\, we need to learn how to set\nand keep boundaries; how to truly get to know someone before\nbeing ALL in or ALL out; how to make conscious choices rather than\nimpulsive or compulsive decisions; how to deal with sexuality and\nsexual feelings in a sober way; and how to feel feelings and not let\nthem consume us. Whether you have done the dating process\,\nexperienced sober physical intimacy in recovery\, or have no idea\nwhere to start\, you are encouraged to come and share your\nthoughts\, humor\, questions\, experience\, strength\, and hope.\n2:45 – 4:00 PM\nSession 3: Building a Better Sponsor/Sponsee\nPartnership. When you hear “sponsorship”: Do you feel happy to\nhave experienced a powerful and supportive sponsor-sponsee\nrelationship? Is your sponsor-sponsee relationship not working?\nAre you delaying working the steps due to lack of sponsorship? Are\nyou lacking support or confidence in becoming a sponsor? Being a\npart of a sponsor-sponsee connection is key ingredient to helping\nus build intimate relationships and work out our issues when\ndealing with others. It can be very rewarding for both sponsor and\nsponsee. Come share your thoughts\, questions\, experience\,\nstrength\, and hope.\n4:15 – 4:45 PM\nGratitude Meeting / Closing\n   \nSign Up Here

How\nto translate our inner recovery experiences of personal dignity\, self-\nworth and self-intimacy into guidelines to use in relationships with\nothers.

Discussions about how\nwe connect and form health relationships with healthy boundaries in\nrecovery.\n12:45-2:00PM Lunch Break\n2:00-3:15PM\nSession 3: Connecting with a Power Greater than\nOurselves. A Higher Power can be anything at all that a member\nbelieves is greater than themselves. These may include nature\,\nconsciousness\, God\, science\, Buddha\, S.L.A.A. meetings/groups\, yoga\,\nexercise\, etc. In our active addiction\, for many of us\, our addiction\nwas serving as our higher power. Sometimes we even considered\nourselves a higher power. In recovery\, we instead connect with a\nhealthy power greater than ourselves\, however each of us may define\nthis higher power.\n3:30-4:45PM\nGratitude Meeting / Closing\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.

SUMMARY:Spring Gathering 2021
DESCRIPTION:  \nSchedule\nVirtual Hang-out 9:30-10:00AM EDTConnect with old and new recovering friends before the sessions start \nSession 1: 10:00-10:50AM EDTWhat blocks me from exploring the joys of recovery? What habits\, behaviors or actions do I use to avoid relationships or intimacy with others? Do I have a chronic pattern of isolation? Am I avoiding vulnerability at all costs? Am I willing to accept that control does not always equal safety? Do I know how to have fun? Am I engaging in top line behaviors? This session explores top line behaviors and how our disease wants us to avoid them. \nSession 2: 11:00-11:50AM EDTLearning to love myself and to love others by loving Higher Power first. In Step 11 our Basic Text talks about learning to walk through each day with the sense of being hand-in-hand with H.P. as a spring of love seemed to flow from within. “Thus we came to find intimacy with ourselves\, intimacy with God\, and the intimacy with others.” (Step 11 page 101) What is your experience with learning to love H.P.\, yourself and others? This session discusses how developing a loving relationship with our Higher Power can help us to learn to love ourselves and others. \nSession 3: 12:00-12:50PM EDTPreparing for new beginnings and watching our recovery grow. Am I living a new positive\, unfolding life? Am I finding it easier to make better choices for myself? Am I unafraid of honesty and openness with others? Am I noticing that I have more dignity of self? Do I accept my own imperfections and mistakes as part of being human? This session explores the signs of recovery for each of us – as individuals – and encourages us to celebrate our progress on the path of recovery. \nGratitude Meeting / Closing 1:00-1:30PM EDTClose out the Spring gathering with gratitude for fellowship and our recovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpring-Gathering-2021-Save-the-Date-flyer-v2Download
