2008 Melbourne AA Steps Weekend
The Melbourne AA Steps Weekend is an annual event held by Alcoholics Anonymous groups in Melbourne Australia. The weekend conference is primarily for AA members and people with a drinking problem who want to stop drinking. Health professionals and anyone else interested in finding out about AA’s 12 step program are also welcome to attend.
The 2008 event was a great success again. Thanks to the organising committee and all the AA Groups involved.
Recordings of the speakers will be made available on this website over the next few weeks. Recordings of speakers from previous years are still available. You can listen to them on-line here and download them individually.
If you attended this year’s event, please leave a comment below. Tell us what you thought about the Melbourne Steps Weekend and how you think it could be improved.
These steps weekends have the stamp of a thorough program as opposed to an AA Anniversary where the emphasis seems to be on sober longevity ,important though it is ,isnt as important to me as the years roll by anymore. A good appreciation of the Program is far more important to get well and achieve our primary purpose which is to serve God and help others .
I congratulate the caterers , management and volunteers who contributed so much .Good on you AA members.
Melbourne Steps Weekend is the real McCoy ,its about the AA Program and not mine or any other AATomDickor Harry.
Thankyou so much for the weekend. From a participants perspective it seemed to run so smoothly: to get that happening with a crowd of alcoholics tells me that a lot of hard work must have gone on behind the scenes. I appreciate your efforts. It was a very emotional weekend for me;I felt truly humbled and grateful to have found AA and to have been blessed with the insight and wisdom of the 12 steps. The guest speakers showed me the power of the steps and how amazing the recovering alcoholic is. God bless.
I attended the Saturday 31st Steps Weekend and was so encouraged and inspired.
Unfortunately I could not attend the Friday night guest speaker and the Sunday.
Am waited with baited sober breath to get the downloads.
The weekend was amazing. I had never beent o one before and I felt like my whole world came together. Everythign that I did not understand about the steps became clear, and the biggest lesson i learnt from the weeknd was that all that glitters may not be gold but atleast there is a sparkle if you look hard enough.
Can not wait until next year!!!!
