hanging with the guys - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

bballdad · 06-11-2009, 11:44 AM

Last weekend was our 6th Annual Men`s Spiritual Retreat and camp out at our local State Park.We had a group campsite which holds 40 people,and it was almost filled up.
We had 6 great meetings,and a lot of smaller meetings in little clusters of 4,6,or 5 most of the time.We fellowshipped,had plenty of fun and food.Meeting topics was,the 2nd tradition,the ABC`s,how do you handle grief in sobriety?,the physic change,one speaker meeting,and gratitude.

all in all, it was a spiritual re-charge...we live in a rural area and we had 30-35 guys which was pretty good.
On Saturday we pitched horse shoes and it was so good,we all decided to have a "for fun" horse shoe tournament next year.Met quite a few new friends and we helped quite a few new guys out.They kept me busy making coffee,and we all went thru a little over 25 gallons...when we returned home,our family's was glad to see us,and we was glad to see them.

there is a lot of folks here on SR I would to "hang" with...maybe some day we can..

I go to several AA camp outs a year. Can't have much better fellowship then camping out in a large group.

We have around 300 campers at out camp out on the bigger ones. 50 or so at a smaller one I go to.
