Announcing “Speed Dating the 12 Steps”
We Just completed the August Run! Thanks to those who participated! 5 of us went over the 12 steps in 4 hours.
WE ARE LOOKING TO DO THIS AGAIN IN OCTOBER! CALL OR EMAIL!
This is a program that takes you through the 12 steps in 4 hours!
This is NOT intended to be a substitute for actual 12 step work with a sponsor. This is intended for:
People new to a 12-step program
People a few months to a few years in, who’ve never dived in past the 3rd step.
Old timers who maybe have let step work get too far into the rear-view mirror
We will be limiting participation to the first 4 to sign up, so as to keep it intimate, with plenty of time to interact.
Call Dewey at 657-631-9534 for more info, or to sign up. You will need to commit to both nights. There’s no charge, and the text will be provided. Bring your Big Book if you have one (we have some)
You can get more information at bigbooksponsorship.org as to how this works, and you can download and print the text there!
If there is interest, we will schedule more of these.
Chestnut Health Systems’ Lighthouse Institute is recruiting Emerging Adults (18-26 years old) who are facing challenges related to substance use, along with their parents, for a paid research study seeking feedback for a new recovery program called Launch. Participating families will receive Launch services at no-cost, be compensated for virtual research visits, and there is no waitlist! Call or Text Alice today (541-251-8507) or fill out the form on the Launch Website for more information: https://www.chestnut.org/launch-study
