Virtual Workshop (Zoom)
Saturday, November 7, 2020
9:30-Noon (Eastern Time)
Experience, Strength, and Hope to GET, and KEEP you Sober
This workshop is presented by Virginia AA District 4 and the “No Winers” Group of Reston Virginia. The workshop will focus on the AA toolbox, hoping to provide alcoholics (and those who wonder if they are alcoholics) the opportunity to explore and discuss how AA tools can be used during this time of uncertainty in our lives. Some areas of focus include our forced isolation, separation from community and family, disruption, and the stress associated with our current environment.The only requirement for attendance is a desire to stop drinking.
Attendance is Anonymous.
Speakers
Hear stories from others who have survived and thrived during difficult times. Their experience, strength, and hope will help you boost and cultivate your own resolve.
Panel Discussion
People with a variety of sobriety durations will speak to common questions, and what AA tools have helped them the most during this difficult time. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
Meditation
A guided mediation will culminate the workshop. An experienced mediation leader who is also in the process of recovery will lead the meditation.
