Inner Family Letter (As presented at recovery workshop, October 2023)

Hi To All of My Inner Family Members Today I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to a new family member and that is Our Loving Parent. Our Loving Parent is here to listen to all of you. She wants to validate all of your thoughts, feeling and emotions. She is offering each and every one of you her unconditional love, compassion and emotional support at all times. She will never abandon you or neglect you. She is here to protect you and to show you what compassion and caring and kindness looks like. She will never judge you or criticize you or belittle you. She has a heart full of love and respect for all of you. She wants you to know she will listen to all your concerns. She will help you work through difficult emotions that may come up for you. She will be a part of our inner family system for the rest of our lives. She wants you to know that she is not a mind reader. She will encourage you to use your voice so she can support you and help you. Remember she is there for all ...

Hello, World!

Southeast Texas ACA is working to create a go-to place for our recovery community during the COVID-19 crisis. Click on the drop-down menu for links to local online meetings and a list of timely topics from our ACA literature (both work-in-progress). We may add shares from fellow travelers as we talk, trust, and feel our way through this crisis as our true selves. If you're out there and reading, please drop a comment. It's a giant graffiti wall: you can let people know you are here.

ACA World Convention On-Line This Weekend!

The ACA World Convention is on-line this year and will be held by zoom conference. This weekend April 24-26 will see a marathon of recovery workshops, each 90 minutes in length. The schedule of workshops that will be offered and the registration form are both on the ACA World Service site. Several international groups (Spain, Russia, UK) are hosting meetings too. Excellent opportunity for recovery. First time that it's possible to attend the World Convention from home!
