"The rewards of sobriety are
bountiful and as progressive as the disease they
counteract. Certainly among these rewards for me are
release from the prison of uniqueness, and the realization that
participation in the A.A. way of life is a blessing and a privilege
beyond estimate -- a blessing to live a life free from the pain and
degradation of drinking and filled with the joy of useful, sober
living, and a privilege to grow in sobriety one day at a time and
bring the message of hope as it was brought to me."
Alcoholics
Anonymous, page 451
Working a 12 Step recovery
program is certainly a challenge and an adventure for each
individual in the program.
Putting the Steps to work in a marriage or committed
relationship requires a level of courage, rigorous honesty and
ego-deflation that goes beyond individual recovery.
This Personal Recovery Workshop
features two couples who will share their experience, strength and
hope with working the 12 Steps in their marriages. There are few opportunities
to hear couples talk together about how the program works in a
marriage. We hope you will share this evening with Claire & Joe
and Diane & Greg as they talk about how they have come to
“intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us”.
