Plans for the International A.A. History Conference, September,
Portland, Maine Aborning
Dick B.
September is always a busy month. But the beginning of
September is the time for you to plan to join us at The First International
Alcoholics Anonymous History Conference in Portland, Maine on September 6-7,
2013--and even before and after those dates for special events and meetings in
Maine..
International!
Folks from all over who want to apply A.A.'s effective
historical techniques today!
A full two conference days; and a week to meet with Dick B.
and Ken B. and learn how to:
(1) Start an AA History-Bible Study Group that is a
Fellowship, shows you the roots of A.A.,
and tells you how and why to seek and apply God's help in recovery today.
(2) Five major talks on: (a) The new era of A.A. History and
how reccovery successes really began to be molded and pointed at the suffering
drunk in New England--particularly Vermont. (b) How to look at A.A.'s
historical roots as a tool to enhance and apply in recovery today the role that
God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played and can play in the recovery
arena and programs today. (c) What Sponsors need to add to their spiritual tool
kits. (d) How more personal and direct information to and focus on the newcomer
can be restored and enabled to produce more recoveries today. (e) How the
alarming impairment of physicians, nurses, dentists, technicians, pharmacists,
clergy, and treatment leaders can be prevented, corrected, and bring hope and
effectiveness back to the treatment scenes.
(3) Special talks on Friday by leaders on talks of special
interest and successes in such fields as: (a) Quiet Time. (b) Techniques of
Quiet Time. (c) The real roots of A.A. in Vermont. (d) The Christian upbringing
of A.A.'s cofounders Bil W. and Dr. Bob. (e) Programs for impaired
professionals. (f) Overcoming restrictions and censorship of program activity
by using Conference-approved literature for openers. (g) How groups are already
dealing effectively with rigidity at "governing" levels in 12 Step
Fellowships. (h) How groups are starting, forming, and conducting Christian
recovery fellowships and groups today. (i) What International Christian
Recovery Coalition offers, at no cost,
to enhance information about the role played by God, His Son Jesus Christ, and
the Bible. (k) The effectiveness of spiritual retreats for AAs, families, and
newcomers today. (l) How the Steps and Big Book can be presented in terms of
the Traditions and A.A. facts. (m) The role that Christian Recovery Radio and
its interviews are playing today. (n) More - to be suggested by you.
(4) Special groups conducted by leaders on the foregoing
talks and embodying participation by those attending.
(5) An introductory roundtable of leaders who share their
work, their plans, their needs, their visions, and what they bring to the
Conference.
(6) Meetings of individuals and small groups throughout the
week with Dick B. and Ken B. in their hotel, restaurants, lobbies, rooms, and
where otherwise convenient. Just contact us in advance of the Conference at 808
276 4945.
(7) As more and more attendees register and make their
schedules, needs, and desires known, the conference plans are flexible and
designed to produce networking, sharing of friendships, and development of new
avenues of outreach.
(8) Just since July, 2009, the conferences, serminars,
interviews, meetings, fellowships, participants, and networking have grown from
Irvine, California to all 50 states and several other countries. There is a
Christian Recovery Movement on the march; and it provides a badly needed
restoration of the role of Divine Aid today. You can become one of the movers
and leaders and commentators.
