Our Monday night 12 step study group has decided to show a movie this month. We invite AA , Alanon and Alateen. We bring and share some snacks during and after the movie. It also gives us some time to meet families of the newcomers who are on recovery. We find that many newcomer finds the fellowship that he is seeking for. So begins a yet smaller group in recovery and the needs of the new ones are catered for. So 19th July is movie and popcorn night. We are not a glum lot.
Maybe "My name is Bill W." or the new movie with Winona Ryder in it. We will see what our group conscience decides on. This is the 1st time we are going to do it and I will let you know how it turns out.
We did a "movie night" for years every week, it was wonderful, early on it was all recovery based but we expanded later on as we ran out of those but kept it "on topic" as it were, it was a fundamental part of my recovery on many levels, the fellowship and fun, the learning, the discussions were important to me
