Message from Steering:
My name is Les – I am an alcoholic and a drug addict.
It is with great pleasure and humility that I am serving you beginning mid-term as male co-chair for the Western Roundup Living Sober 2010 Conference. I was first introduced to the conference back in 1993 and I remember doing service but had no connection to that service being for anyone other than myself.
Life happened and on April 20th of 2001 I returned to yet another new life of sobriety and service as I understand it today. In 2004, I was co-chair for the Speaker Committee and in 2005 I was treasurer for the conference and this is when I really received a tremendous understanding of what I was doing and how that helped serve others. For the last three years I have been teaching yoga and recovery at the conference on Saturday and Sunday mornings and I hope to be able to see many of you there again this year.
I return to service as I continue with my renewed commitment to my sobriety which in God’s will means that I am to stay sober and help another alcoholic achieve sobriety. I stay sober with the gifts and challenges of 2 programs – 1 bed. So, it continues to bring me great joy that we welcome both AA and Alanon to the conference as we seek to achieve our common goals of a life filled with love and joy and peace and a softer chattering committee of voices in our heads, one day at a time.
The committees that I will be liaison for are Raffle and Entertainment, Program and Speaker committee. It takes a tremendous amount of work and love to put this conference on and your participation, in any way, would be very very helpful and welcomed. If you’ve been kind of wondering what we’re about and what it means to live sober, then please come and check out one of the committee meetings or general planning. The next general planning meeting is on Sunday, February 21, at 5:00 at Trinity Church (Bush & Gough). Bring a friend – it’s great to have a spiritual swim buddy to do service with at Living Sober.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be of service. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. If I can help you, of course I will and if I don’t know the answer to something you need to know, I will either find out for you or get you pointed in the right direction so that your life of sobriety can be happy, joyous and free.
Namaste, Les L. – Male Co-Chair, Western Roundup Living Sober 2010
