She Recovers - Yoga and Recovery on the Beach

She Recovers warmly invites the women of “Sober Sites” to join us for A Sacred Pause:

Yoga and Recovery on the Beach this November 24 – December 1^st.

This retreat promises seven days of female energy, yoga, sun, sand and sea right on the beach in Tulum, one hour south of Cancun. We will honor ourselves, our recovery and our bodies by taking a full week to relax and connect with ourselves, reflect on what we want to create next in our lives, and then refocus our energy for the return home. Although various excursion options will be made available, nutritious meals and yoga classes will be the only specifically scheduled daily activities to allow each participant to spend time exactly as she wishes. The Mayans predict that the end of this year marks a period of renewal for all of us, so we are thrilled to be hosting women in recovery in this sacred place, the Mayan Riviera.

June/July = Guinevere Gets Sober

An award-winning, top-ranking addiction blog offering news, reviews, and straight talk about addiction and recovery

August = No Permanent Solutions

I'm 32, married, have a huge family, work behind a desk 9am–5pm and coach diving on the side. My favorite things in this world are my family, diving, dancing, corny movies, awe-ha moments (aka Godshots), silly hair, playful banter, and belly laughs. Any of these things shared with other people makes them even better! I'm in recovery from a myriad of dependencies, and I primarily relate as a recovering alcoholic, bulimic and cutter. I lived with major depression for half my life and have received 21 ECTs. Today I live free from the hell I believed I could only escape through suicide. I don’t know why I was graced with recovery after over a decade of pain and struggle, but I know I cannot afford to keep it to myself nor do I want to. I love sharing my story and my life today, and I hope that my experience might lend support and hope to others. Remember every experience we have will pass. Be present for the good as well as the seemingly bad, because both have value and both are only temporary.

Everyday Addiction: Healing the Habits of Life

In this afternoon workshop we will look at the issues that trouble us in our daily lives, both internal and external. We will explore self-judgment and painful emotional habits; we will work with letting go of the habitual behaviors that undermine our happiness and serenity. Using themes like honesty, intention, and acceptance, we will come to understand the roots of our distress and develop tools to overcome and heal these persistent problems.

The day's teaching will include mindfulness meditation techniques and Buddhist/12-Step parallels.

Kevin Griffin is the author of the seminal 2004 book One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps and the recent A Burning Desire: Dharma God and the Path of Recovery. He has been practicing Buddhist meditation for three decades and been in recovery since 1985. He’s been a meditation teacher for over fifteen years. His teacher training was at Spirit Rock Meditation Center where he currently leads Dharma and Recovery classes.

12 Steps of Recovery

"I am an Adult Child (of an Alcoholic)

…and a 30-something year old woman living in Cape Town, South Africa. My life has been a great struggle, even when things were good, I was waiting for them to come crashing down around me, and they usually did.

My recovery in a 12 Step Fellowship has made the single biggest difference to my life. For 30 years I wondered what was wrong with me and what to do to fix myself. I came to find that there is nothing wrong with me and all I need is Love. So my steps are a process of learning to Love myself & others. I share in the hope that you will know that you are not alone and that you can also be Loved.

Please respect my anonymity and I will respect yours."

The International Christian Recovery Coalition

The International Christian Recovery Coalition is an informal, international fellowship comprised of Christian leaders and workers in the recovery arena, together with Christians in recovery and others seeking the power and love of God as a means of recovering from the ravages of alcoholism, addictions, and other life-controlling problems.

Our Two-Part Mission Statement

"To glorify God by making known the roles played by God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible in the astonishing 75% and 93% success rates (overall, and in Cleveland, respectively) early A.A. claimed among ‘seemingly-hopeless,’ ‘medically-incurable,’ ‘real’ alcoholics who really tried to follow the original recovery program developed by A.A. cofounders Bill W. and Dr. Bob in Akron, Ohio, beginning in the summer of 1935."

"To glorify God by helping Christian leaders and workers in the recovery arena substantially improve their effectiveness in reaching those who still suffer by including accurate information about the original, highly-successful Akron A.A. program, its principles and techniques, and its historical setting into their recovery efforts."
