I found ACA after years of working other programs. ACA is the culmination of all the work I have done, and a clear path for the healing I still need to do. SMR helped me make peace with myself. With this new connection to fellow travellers, I am now finding hope.

The daily presence of this safe space has allowed me to dive deep into my own journey and know that I have support and love in it all. The format and frequency really work for me and am beyond grateful for this community.

My parents told me to be careful who I associated with—you have to be selective about your friends.  I’m associating with you, people who really love themselves.  You are rubbing off on me. I love this fellowship.

At my first share, when the host said “we’re listening” I knew I had a new family.

Being part of SMR in the morning centers me for that day. It helps to provide me with what I need to experience joy.

What a gift to have found a community every morning where I am welcomed and listened to, and where I learn and grow from listening to others.

Each meeting helps me take another step forward in my recovery journey.

Barb E.

I learned about recovery in my other 12 step program – for that I am ever grateful, yet after 30 years I yearned for a healing that I hadn’t yet uncovered. In ACA, I found the path to wholeness and love that I have sought for my entire life.

Rene A.

Surprisingly, this meeting has become a home for me. This large, well structured meeting feels like a safe place to share my experience, understanding, and hope. I take everyone with me into my days.

The support I receive here is why I keep coming back. I’m learning how to try even though I may feel afraid and that it is ok to ask for help and get the help I need.

Diane F.

So grateful that yearning for emotional sobriety brought me into the rooms of ACA. I found ACA Morning and soon it became part of my daily routine…my life is completely different, yet nothing has changed but me.

Feeling as a fearful misfit in my childhood home, I sadly thought: “I MUST be adopted!” Now being in this diverse global community, I smile to myself and know “I AM adopted!” (by all of you, thanks!)

I thank my HP this meeting is every day.

Rachel

I’m amazed at how much I feel seen and heard in a meeting of close to 200 people only a few of whom I’ve met. It’s been a lifeline during Covid.

Coming to the SMR meeting is my daily dose
of self care.
