Conference Overview
This conference will focus on concerns and issues impacting seniors, their spouses and family with both short term and long term sobriety.
We are a gathering of alcoholics, celebrating the joy of living, who are interested in learning more about the interactions of aging on the alcoholic, both sober and still qualifying and how to help the still-suffering senior.
The Conference Will Focus On Important Issues To Seniors, including:
-
Alcoholism in Seniors: A Hidden Epidemic.
-
Are you more at ease in meetings with your peers?
-
Tired of profanity in meetings?
-
Effects of aging on the alcoholic
-
Looking for a daytime meeting?
-
Having trouble asking for help?
-
How can I handle diminishing physical and mental capacities (in myself and others)?
-
How do I manage as a single Senior alcoholic?
-
Couples in sobriety: How is it working... or not?
-
Spirituality, from agnostic to spiritual
-
More about SIS
-
Who is a senior anyway?
The conference will be both informative and entertaining. Plus, there will be ample time to have fun and enjoy the beauty of the Sedona area.
Our last conference was held in Kona, Hawaii, with attendees from all over the U.S. and Canada who learned, participated and had a blast for three days. We plan this to be a repeat performance in Sedona in 2007!!!
Please come, participate and enjoy the fellowship of SENIORS IN SOBRIETY!
