They have been providing this workshop for a number of years. The accompanying Workbook has reached 70 pages. It can be downloaded here. The focus is on practicing the Traditions of AA and Al-Anon in our relationships as couples. Therefore, Dave and Polly have adjusted the wording of each Traditions to make them more directly applicable. The Workshop also includes an intro by Dave in session one plus a never before heard discussion of some special things Dave does as part of his larger program (covered in session five).
Dave's introduction with a piece on "Men are like waffles - women like spaghetti". Recognizing that we are put together differently is the starting point. How Dave describes their journey through therapy and other means of trying to get on the fast track of sobriety. "For us, what we found out was that Psycho Therapy informs but it does not heal. Alcoholics Anonymous heals."
