In taking the First Step, we admit that our addiction is destroying us, and that we are unable to stop it. We surrender, raise the white flag, and accept that the battle is over.”

Noon CEST Self-Love with readings from chapter 15 Beyond Survival: Practicing Self-Love, Strengthening My Recovery and other approved ACA literature )Doing service helps the meetings and your individual recovery since you gather valuable experience on your recovery journey. In Chapters 17-21, Nurturing a Loving Inner Home, you’ll connect more deeply with your inner family to build a loving inner home. We learned that our family of origin issues and failed relationships didn't happen overnight. We don't need to read every self-help book this week or hand the Laundry List to everybody we know. If we really want to trust that the program is going to work for us, we learn to follow in the footsteps of those who came before us - to slow down and "Take It Easy." With our common experiences, we find that we can help one another in ways that others cannot because we carry with us empathy and an understanding of the disease of family dysfunction." BRB p. 515

As adults, most of us seemed to have relationships in which we dominated people or worshipped people. Most of us were discreet about these two extremes. But when we think about it, we can agree that we have been near one end or the other of these two positions. There seemed to be no middle ground or equality in our relationships with another person. Many of us thought we were either superior or inferior. We seemed to never feel like we were good enough for our friends or others Gradually we begin to recognize the negative parenting messages from our childhoods that drive our lives. We learn how to replace them with healthy behaviors. This is a first step toward “reparenting”. As we gradually reparent our selves, our outlook on life changes. We begin to look at it from an emotionally mature perspective. Ultimately we become happier, stronger, more capable people – more able to handle life. We learn to respect others and ourselves. The quality of our lives improves as we learn to define and communicate our boundaries, and insist that they be honored. Our Self Care Sunday meeting is a nurturing space to focus on things we can do to care for ourselves while being our own Loving Parents. The meeting has a rotating schedule of readings from the ACA literature (The Big Red Book and Strengthening My Recovery) which can be found here, chosen by the group to help remind us of the nourishing and supportive practices we can engage in to support us all in our recovery and beyond. We look forward to seeing you and joining our loving re-parenting journey. Most Fellow World Travelers meetings are audio only, do not use the video function unless it is written in the meeting info. There are many ways to practice prayer and meditation. We could use the serenity prayer. We could take some quiet time to read and re-read the prayer slowly, allowing the meaning in each phrase to be revealed. Others pay attention to the stillness within themselves. Each of us discovers our own way of meditating.

Strengthening My Recovery, ACA WEB0120 - ACA Morning

By becoming our own Loving Parent, we begin to take better care of ourselves. By learning the true qualities of a Loving Parent or reparenting, we recognize that the care we received from our biological parents was not healthy love. By reparenting ourselves, we accept that we have positive qualities. We stop the critical self-talk through affirmations and journaling. We learn to parent ourselves with a more loving voice inside. We realize we have something to offer to our ACA support group and to society We learn how to take care of ourselves by attending meetings. We pray for the courage to ask someone to be our sponsor or fellow traveler who will help us work the Steps. We stop complicating, analyzing, and debating. We learn to keep the focus on ourselves and "Keep It Simple." How do I know what God’s will is for me?’ … Most importantly, we realize that no other person can answer this question for us. It is ours to discover. By practicing ACA outside of meetings, we can avoid recreating our family of origin at work. We can avoid being a victim, a hero, or the invisible employee who is rarely noticed and passed over for pay raises. Without working our program, we can easily take the patterns and roles we learned at home and apply them in the workplace. We risk taking our parental programming and our false attitudes about ourselves into our working life. Even if we don’t work full-time, looking at ACA traits in the workplace can help improve our interaction in other groups or social settings. We may work part-time or have a position in a volunteer, charitable, or worship group. We may be retired and be part of a recreational group. The personality types that can be difficult for us will likely show up whenever and wherever we interact with others on a regular basis. This chapter on ACA experience in the workplace will help us focus on our program and improve our behavior in relationships wherever we go. This book could benefit all ACAs and fills a huge need in our program for concrete information on how to embrace the ACA Solution. The Loving Parent Guidebook finally provides practical instruction on HOW to reparent.” -Fellow TravelerWe increase awareness of our own reality … we see connections between the events in our lives … We are able to reflect on the wonder of our lives, with gratitude to our Higher Power. Please always ask the chair or host first if you can use your video. Meeting Time shows CEST (Central European Summer Time) At this meeting we read ACA readings: Serenity Prayer, 12 traditions, Tony A steps and principles, Other or Laundry List alternating weeks. I have the right to determine and honor my own priorities and goals, and to leave others to do the same.

It can even be an attempt to subconsciously control others or place responsibility outside of oneself. Example: “When you get abused, it hurts you.” Change this to: “When I got abused, it hurt me.” Sharing in the first person promotes self responsibility by divulging information only about yourself. When you are tempted to use the generic “you,” “we,” etc., try to catch yourself and replace i with “I.” We consider 'camera on' and listening (which means 'video on' is an individual's choice) is a means of service. All ACA groups or online meetings that would like to join ACA Fellow World Travelers – ACA Intergroup IG#728 for help and support are more than are welcome. I have the right to a spiritually, physically, and emotionally healthier existence, though it may deviate entirely or in part from my parents' way of life. Please note that you may not gain entry to this meeting if trying to join more than ten minutes late.

Beginners meeting: Family dysfunction is a disease that affects everyone in the family. Taking a drink is not necessary to be affected. This is an ACA axiom, and it serves as a basis for our First Step. The effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family force us to develop survival traits that are known as The Laundry List (Problem). Since the disease of family dysfunction is generational, these traits also represent the internalization of our parents’ behavior. As much as we would like to deny it, we have become our parents. If we have succeeded in acting differently than them, we still passed on unwanted traits handed off to us by our parents. We unknowingly passed them on to our children. This guide includes many fellowship shares about reparenting and inner child work. To help you integrate reparenting into your daily life, the guide also includes:
