From the inspiring speakers and powerful marathon meetings to the workshops, dinners, and fellowship throughout the weekend, the spirit of recovery was alive in every room. We were especially grateful for the participation and support from Al-Anon and Young People in A.A., whose presence added even more strength, hope, and unity to the convention experience.

Events like Spring Fling are only possible because of the willingness and service of so many dedicated people. Whether you attended, volunteered, chaired a meeting, spoke, or simply shared your experience, strength, and hope with another person — thank you.
