I have just returned from the most wonderful step retreat in the beautiful English countryside. I have been on a few of Jamie’s rtetreats and they are always fun, warm, enlightening and inspiring. After 10 years in recovery they are not only my semi-annual housecleaning but also provide me with a new enthusiasm for our amazing programme. it is an amazing experience to spend 3 days with 20 other fellows all working and discussing the steps. I cannot recommend them highly enough, I have already booked the next one.
In love and fellowship Sonja x
I too have benefitted greatly from a recent retreat,at Buckfast Abbey: an amzing venue. This was my second retreat and I had waxed so lyrically about my first that a friend asked to come along. Just prior to the event I wondered if Memory had not given the first an overly rosy glow, but not only did it not live up to my expectations, it exceeded them. Truly inspirational! With grateful thanks, Neen.
Here I am sitting in my son’s front yard in North Carolina in the motorhome I was able to purchase with the help of those that believe in my work. I have finally “online” in the RV now so communication should improve.

Love and fellowship,
Hannah x(and her sisters)

I can’t begin to thank you for the generous time, wit, compassion and most of all mentorship. After our two sessions, I am not the same person that I was and more will be revealed. Lots of love and gratitude, come back to the states!
hi jamie, i am a recovering addict/alcoholic and am living in the u.k. I have just finished my step 5 the a.a way. My sponser who has the patience of a saint suggested i do it in 3 parts. The world according to ronnie thought once was enough. Firstly i done it with him the release was amazing. Then much to my disdain i had to do it in front of the mirror. I couldn’t very well discount the exact nature of my wrongs staring at the culprit. To look for the patterns was the objective not the beating up process i commenced to do. With fear striking me as my and many other alcoholics main bondage of self. T here also came to me about my ego, better or worse than anybody else. A blockage that severley affects my relationship with god. The most important thing for me was the want to be loved hence the people pleasing that dominated my life. the selfishness of my actions around people pleasing are very apparent nowadays. i look for the reason i do things for others now. Am i being selfish in my actions. what are my motives, what would god have me do.
The 3rd and final part of my step 5 was the most rewarding. Here i went to a spiritual place that i felt close to my creator and asked forgiveness for all my wrongs the realisation of knowing i’m protected and loved was so beautiful. This was the reason i took drugs and alcohol to fill that inner void. Here i was recieving beyond my wildest dreams a freedom i had never expierianced before.I understood my fears my anxieties pailed into insignificance. I was as it says in the big book amazed even before i was half way through. i look forward to my amends and know however they turn out i will be empowered to arrest this horrific disease i faced for so many years. step 6 and 7 are a daily thing for me resentments just don’t have any wieght to affect my peace and serenity any more. in 7 i humbly ask for his power to give the same love and compassion patience and tolerance that was given me so i may offer help to anyone in pain and suffering.
i thank you for reading this and wish you blessings of the best kind.
