This Is Why We Do It
Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends - this is an experience you must not miss. We know you will not want to miss it. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives. - Alcoholics Anonymous p89

Don't Take Yourself So Damn Seriously
During the MBAR Conference, there will be meetings held that are open to all A.A. and Al-Anon Members at various hours during the day.
Games help break the ice, spark laughter, and remind us that recovery isn’t just about what we’re letting go of—it’s about what we’re gaining.
