As a way to offer support and provide another opportunity for service, the EAI 12th Step Committee will be hosting two Informal Fellowship Gatherings.

In these gatherings, our committee members will moderate to introduce a topic for discussion, we will explore the topic by reading a selection of FA literature, and speakers will share their experience. The gathering will then be opened for sharing from fellows who have 90 days of consecutive abstinence and are working with an FA sponsor. Each session will last one hour. 

These Informal Fellowship Gatherings are open to all, so please join us!
