"But even Bacchus boomeranged on us; we were finally struck down and left in terrified loneliness." 12&12, Step Five, p 57. I will invite participants let go of that terrified loneliness in an open discussion AA meeting. I welcome the curious, newcomers and old-timers. From my long term recovery and my lifetime of being Pagan, I will briefly tell my story of recovery as a Pagan. I will tell how I reconciled my Pagan faith with AA steps. My story will serve as an invitation for others to share their experience, strength, and hope in open discussion. The meeting format includes a Four Elements Prayer of Serenity and traditional readings from AA. Attendees will be encouraged to share their experience with recovery and their personal spirituality, naming their ancestors, deities, etc, in prayer.
