I'm hoping to finally get to meet some VCers at this thing!
I'm curious to know from those who were there last year if there were any type of social meetups or support activities/resources for people with addiction issues. Events like this tend to aggressively promote alcohol use, and a member of my party had to give up alcohol a couple years ago. Do any of you who were at SBS or similar events at this resort recall if they offered any non-alcohol beverages that are a little more exciting than bottled water/soda/tea/coffee? Like non-alcohol beer or alcohol free cocktails?
There were daily meetings for “Friends of Bill W.” Personally, I felt a little strange doing an all-inclusive resort thing 9 years into recovery so it was a relief to see this when we checked in. I went to the meeting the first day; it was a cool group and a great way to check in with my sobriety. It was a supportive environment overall—if you’re seeking support. I would also say that it just wasn’t the debaucherous event some might imagine. We’re all old now.
