Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting (open)
Welcome to the open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Gentle Rolfing! We understand the challenges you face as you journey towards recovery, and our supportive community is here to guide you every step of the way. Our health-focused approach embraces the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to provide a safe space where individuals can share their experiences, strength, and hope in overcoming addiction.
Why Choose Our Open Meetings
At Gentle Rolfing, we believe that coming together as a community can play a vital role in the recovery process. Our open AA meetings offer a non-judgmental environment where individuals facing alcohol addiction can find understanding, support, and encouragement. Here's why you should consider attending our open meetings:
- Inclusive Atmosphere: Our meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend, regardless of age, background, or stage of recovery. We foster an inclusive atmosphere where everyone is welcomed and accepted.
- Sharing Perspectives: Engage in open discussions with fellow attendees who have faced similar challenges. By sharing your experiences and listening to others, you can gain new insights and strategies for overcoming alcohol addiction.
- Supportive Community: Our meetings provide a sense of camaraderie and support. You'll find comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your journey and that there are others who understand and empathize with your struggles.
- Confidentiality: We prioritize the privacy and confidentiality of all participants. Feel at ease knowing that what is shared within the meeting remains within the meeting.
- Non-Religious Approach: While AA is a spiritual program, our open meetings maintain a non-religious approach, welcoming individuals of all faiths and beliefs. We focus on your personal journey to recovery, allowing you to define your own higher power, whatever that may be.
Overcoming Addiction Through Health-Oriented Support
At Gentle Rolfing, we recognize the importance of a holistic and health-oriented approach to addiction recovery. We believe that true healing involves addressing the mind, body, and spirit. Our open AA meetings are designed to complement our Rolfing services, which focus on structural integration and enhancing overall well-being.
Structural Integration
Rolfing is a transformative form of bodywork that aims to optimize the body's structure and alignment while increasing vitality and reducing physical discomfort. By improving posture and movement patterns, Rolfing can facilitate a greater sense of self-awareness and offer long-term benefits for individuals overcoming alcohol addiction.
Emotional and Mental Well-being
During our open AA meetings, we not only discuss the challenges of addiction but also explore the emotional and mental aspects of healing. Our facilitators help create a nurturing environment where individuals can address underlying emotional issues and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Guiding Principles of Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a renowned program that has helped millions of individuals overcome alcohol addiction. Our open meetings adhere to AA's guiding principles, which include:
- Admitting Powerlessness: Acknowledging that alcohol has become unmanageable and realizing the need for change.
- Belief in a Higher Power: Recognizing that recovery requires surrendering to a power greater than oneself.
- Moral Inventory: Assessing one's actions, character, and relationships to identify areas for personal growth and amends.
- Amends and Forgiveness: Making direct amends to those who have been harmed by one's addiction and practicing forgiveness.
- Continued Self-Reflection: Engaging in personal inventory and promptly admitting faults to maintain progress and growth.
- Service and Support: Sharing experience, strength, and hope with others, both within the AA community and beyond.
