Larcine G and Lisa M - Al Anon and AA give a workshop on Relationships

In January 2024 I flew to Puerto Vallarta Mexico to speak at a conference called #SobrietyUndertheSun

It was my first international speaker invite. It was a mixture of terror, gratitude and excitement to carry the message of alcoholics anonymous to that many people. 

I was also asked to do a workshop. I chose to ask a more seasoned veteran, Larcine G from Al Anon, if she would like to collaborate on one with me.

 

I sent her my notes and ideas on the workshop, she called me and asked gently "Is this a 1 day or 1 hour workshop?". Right. Point taken.

Notes went in the garbage, we talked for about 30 mins and decided to do a workshop on the traditions and how they can benefit us in our relationships at home as well as at AA meetings. (Clearly she has never been to an AA business meeting!)

 

We didn't talk again til the day of the workshop, nor did we know what the other person was going to say.

Somehow, let's call it what it is, The Grace of God, we managed to give a cohesive talk and keep it to the one hour time frame we had been given.

 

It wasn't supposed to be recorded but someone in the audience thought it should be and later sent me this mp3.

I hope you enjoy!
