Thanks, Joni. I am going. There'll be 18 of us & tis filling up nicely. It's not far north of Liverpool along the coastline. I'm really looking forward to some focused work with my conscious contact. I practice the latihan which is a spiritual exercise of surrender & can be quite general & vague at times though really beneficial in the longterm & seems to work in a similar process as my recovery but this weekend I think will provide a great opportunity to get specific & do some intensive work along with fellow alcoholics. I'm looking forward to it so much :) Anyone interested can pm me for more info.. Godbless, Danielle x
