Lakewood Speaker Meeting
Saturdays, 10:30 AM to Noon West Lakewood Baptist Church 5121 Hayter Ave., Lakewood, CA ZOOM Meeting ID# 690-579-089 Password: Southbay |
Until we can return to our face-to-face meeting in Lakewood, please join us on ZOOM for our 90-minute Speakers Meeting, each Saturday at 10:30 AM.
Most weeks we feature seasoned speakers from throughout the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. One week of the month we read and discuss a Step or Tradition. This year we are focusing on the Traditions by reading and discussing the Tradition which corresponds to the current month.
Our meeting encompasses a range and depth of abstinence, from the newcomer to the old-timer with more than 30 years. You will find much warmth and wisdom in our virtual room, where everyone is welcome.
Many of our participants have great experience, strength, and hope to share, which may help anyone struggling with accepting his or her imperfect humanity, while learning to embrace and live the miracles of the 12 Steps.
