Start the New Year in fellowship by joining us for a weekend of recovery, fun, and inspiration at our winter convention at the Ramada Hotel in Birmingham, UK. I have found that the farther I travel to a convention, the more my recovery seems to benefit. Our January convention in Birmingham could be your opportunity to experience this phenomenon. Following are the experiences of some members who attended the UK convention last summer:

• This was a very positive and strong convention. I was filled with fear and felt uncomfortable at first, but I felt very charged by the end of the convention. We were nine nationalities, reflecting our different regions. What a great experience!

• The convention center was lovely and the food was great. The cabaret night was much enjoyed. The practical advice on how to work the Steps and live sensibly was most beneficial. The attendance of women and couples who are part of the program provided a balance that I haven’t always experienced. I loved the support of the fellowship and the sharing I experienced there. Thanks!

• The UK summer convention was wonderful. I learn so much at conventions, and this was no exception. The emphasis was on Hope and Recovery. Members came from Ireland and Europe and they made a wonderful contribution. The location was great, and peace and serenity abounded.

• The warm welcome of the people was great and supportive. I experienced a lot of clarity around how to work the SA program and found hope for continuous sobriety. Also, the social time together and the talent-show were important for getting connected and feeling the strength of the fellowship.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
