Norway; I attended a very beautiful ACA event in Oslo this month. There had been great conflict in the Norwegian fellowship because of ACA out patients from a treatment facility in Oslo, where the ACAs were told that they could share anything. The members of ACA in Oslo were intimidated by this group of members and felt threaten by these members. So it was with great anticipation that I arrived by ferry from Denmark into the long and peaceful Oslo fjord. The weather showed itself in the best way possible 30c and sunshine. I was met by a member og the IG and was lead to a nice hotel, I was told that I was their guest and that they would take care of me over the weekend. The next morning we went to the venue, an I was very impressed with the tone of voice amongst the volunteers and the efficiency from the how the recovery day was run.
This month I followed up with Sweden that have invited me to their National Recovery Day on the 20th of October. The Netherlands has their Recovery Weekend from the 10 - 12th of November, where I have been invited. The Belarus has their event at the 27th of July.
