“Recovery on the River”
July 15 – 17, 2011, Portland, OR

The SA and S-Anon members of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area invite you to join us for the “Recovery on the (Columbia) River” convention in Portland this July. When you arrive, our local members will heartily welcome you. A program of recovery for sexaholics has been steadily growing here in Oregon and Southwest Washington since the mid-1980s, and we look forward to sharing our recovery with the fellowship.

With the usual mix of speakers, couples groups, and smaller breakout meetings, we will encourage one another with the spirit, power, and love of our Twelve Step way of sobriety and recovery. There will also be literature to buy, Step work to do, and lots of conversations with fellow recovering folks. After all, “we are a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover” (SA 201).

Our convention site is adjacent to the Portland airport. The conference center is just a short walk from the airport, or you can take a free shuttle. Within easy drives are numerous sights and treks in urban settings as well as outdoor vistas—and the month of July is almost always sunny here. Our region is a tourist destination because of the mountains, ocean, rivers, waterfalls, and cultural features, as well as a host of fun and interesting things to do. Public transportation is readily available, bicycle paths are everywhere, and you can get to the river by walking to the end of one of the runways.

Register before March 15 to take advantage of the lowest rate. For more information, visit our website at www.recoveryontheriver2011.com. We look forward to seeing you here!
