Recovery in 2021
Happy New Year, Everyone. I'm a grateful recovering codependent love addict. I've been helping a little on this message board and with coordinating the Zoom meetings and have been asked to contribute some posts throughout the year, as all of you are encouraged to do. I have enjoyed connecting with some of you in the meetings and hope to get to know many more of you as the year progresses. Through the blessing of online meetings and many opportunities to give service, my hope is that this fellowship will flourish and grow stronger, just as our own recovery advances and we experience healing.
As we look to the year ahead, one day at a time, let's think about some ways of enhancing our LAA recovery journey and our fellowship as a whole:
1. Focus on your own recovery. This website and message board have all the resources and guidance you need.
2. Get involved in your fellowship. The LAA International Committee holds a Business Meeting every month. If you are a member of LAA you belong at this meeting. The next meeting is on Monday, 4th January at 11.00 a.m. PST. We hope to see you there:

3. Chair a Meeting. If you already attend meetings on Zoom, you will know how important they are. We need more people to step up to Chair existing and new meetings. We will give you all the help you need, the only requirement is a good and willing heart and reliability:

4. Sponsorship/Support. Sponsors in LAA are in short supply yet everyone agrees they are a really important part of our recovery. Please consider being available to sponsor someone else on their recovery journey, even if temporarily:

If you are not ready to sponsor yet, or need a sponsor, get involved in meetings, share on the Message Board, join the WhatsApp groups that become available after you’ve attended your first meeting, ask for and provide outreach calls, and develop friendships and support networks with other recovering love addicts.

5. Give back. As well as all the above ways that you can give to LAA, we do have running costs, so we encourage you to make a New Year or regular donation, following the 7th Tradition:

6. Have fun and trust God. Love addiction is a serious business, but we can learn to live in the sunlight of the spirit in this fellowship. We hope and pray that we will all learn to be happy, joyous and free on this journey.
