Held in December, the retreat was envisioned by Sandy B to not be marketed - no flyers, no website - just spread by word of mouth, drawing seekers from the four corners in a non-AA spiritually focused men's retreat.
This one was special. It came at the end of a year where Sandy lost two daughters - one murdered in the spring, one died of alcoholism in July.
Special thanks to the website where I found this and the rest of the series held from 2006 to 2012

Sandy introduces two members to share on anything they wish.
Joe K shares on what it was like during the extended quiet time they shared during the weekend. He says alcoholism is like wetting the bed as a kid - he couldn't really help it but he did not want to share with the kids at school what they did to keep from doing it.
Guy shares on a concept his dad taught him - "Keep pluggin'"
