Don't Take Yourself So Damn Seriously
During the MBAR Conference, there will be meetings held that are open to all A.A. and Al-Anon Members at various hours during the day.
Games help break the ice, spark laughter, and remind us that recovery isn’t just about what we’re letting go of—it’s about what we’re gaining.

I am responsible.
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there.
And for that I am responsible.
