………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Step study is a key tool to recovery in the S.L.A.A. program:
At the retreat weekend we do a study of the SLAA 12 Steps–together.
If you have worked on the Steps in this type of format before, you already
know its value. If you have not done any study of the Steps, intensive or
otherwise, this is a great way to do it, especially the first time. Regardless of
where we are in the Step study process, we are able to learn from sharing
our experience, strength and hope with each other.

(A final detailed schedule will be sent to you prior to the retreat.)

12:00 pm Lunch Break
12:30 pm Session 1 – A Vision for the Future of SLAA in New England
Marking 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.
2:00 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.
3:30 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.
The 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
