Held in Woodstock, GA, Father's Day Weekend, June 19, 2010. The workshop included Dick and Barbara A. of Lithia Springs, GA and Helen R. of Atlanta. Dick and Barbara lead similar workshops around the country. Sober over 30 years, Helen is the Office Manager for the Central Office of the Metro Atlanta Intergroup of AA. The Workshop focused on the Traditions and Concepts of AA with an emphasis on applying them to our daily lives.
Sober 33 years since 6/8/1977, Dick briefly shares his story and how a call to Central Office in Atlanta started his journey through the program. Helen R., a fellow presenter at this workshop, answered that call. This program is about service. Speaks about the history of AA and the Traditions. He has not seen good long term sobriety that did not include Emotional Sobriety and Service. The traditions teach us how to get along with others. Goes through the Traditions one at a time and explains how they apply to our everyday lives. Ultimately, God has ALL Power that has enabled Dick to recover from esophageal cancer. Explains how he hit an emotional bottom at 15 years sober looking for a gun to put to his head.
