The conference was wonderful. Approximately 178 attended. The first business meeting that I attended December 1983, there were 15 of us there. Five of us were in attendance in SLC. I truly recommend these conferences for loners as a way of connecting to others in the program and to the program as a whole. We are isolationists by nature, then you add our loner status to our isolation, and what you get is true loneliness. Last year I cried and cried for I had never felt so alone in sobriety.

Many of us really enjoyed the conference in SLC, and we send our thanks to all the folks who made it possible through their efforts and hard work. Thanks.
