My 12 Steps Into Recovery
2025-03-28 20:00 - 21:00
This is our 3rd of 6 speaker meetings where speakers share about how ACA relates to their other 12 step programs. Our initial speaker has had unexpected events each time so we’ve had these programs shared so far (e.g., CODA, SAnon, NA, AA). Lauren will speak this month on AA. Other 12 step program perspectives coming in the next few months include SLAA, CMA, OA, and Alanon.

HOPE in ACA Weekend Retreat
2025-04-04 18:00 - 2025-04-06 12:00
The Big Red Book (p. xv) tells us that, “ACA holds out HOPE and acceptance to the hurting adult children of the world, who can ‘hit a bottom’ and reach out for help. Allowing the True Self to emerge in the nurturing atmosphere of ACA is a spiritual experience that awaits any adult child stepping onto the broad highway of ACA recovery.”
Join us from Friday evening, April 04 through Sunday noon, April 06 at the beautiful Lutherdale Retreat Center in Elkhorn, Wisconsin for some quiet reflection and program work. The retreat center is about 45 minutes from Milwaukee, 60 minutes from Madison and 90 minutes from O’Hare airport in Chicago.
