In mutual support groups, they say "speak from the I" - Well I will, I held my ninth men's recovery retreat at the cabin this past weekend. I have heard four 5th Steps there since last years retreat making my total at 23. I say this not to pat myself on the back, I say this because I'm not confused as to why my life is going so amazingly well - It's the level I participate in my recovery.
The residual energy at the cabin just keeps elevating and each time I'm there, whether alone, or not - I just vibrate off the environment.
Eighteen men including me, attended. I like even numbers, we do some break out one-on-one activities that require that - Each year I take notes on what went good, and what didn't, this year there was not a single "con" on the list. We eat like kings, we play like kids, and we commune like men. I'm a firm believer that events like these are necessary, when folks ask what it is, I have a simple answer:
-- Men helping men, be better men --
Thank you for allowing me to participate in my recover in this manner today! Enjoy!
