It was a real eye opener!  I now know what makes me tick! And I realized after doing my personal inventory why I was having so many problems with my relationships and everyday life.

This is my 3rd A.A. Big Book Retreat with Paul F. at Mount Carmel.  I’ve learned something new each time.  It has been one of the most inspirational meetings I have attended in my 16 years of sobriety.

Now that Big Book Retreat can save me.

It was truly a great experience to see how the A.A. 12 Steps were orginially done and to get a whole new perspective on sobriety.

In my five years of sobriety, only now do I feel that I understand how to truly work the 12 steps of AA.  And Mount Carmel was absolutely breath taking, with excellent lodging and food.     I loved it!

The Mount Carmel Big Book Retreat has been a life changing as well as a spiritual experience.   My first time to this retreat I was just out of treatment and was thinking that I knew a lot about what it took to stay sober.   I was wrong.  We went through the 12 Steps in just one weekend!  It has made my recovery so much easier than just biting the bullet every day.   My second time at Mount Carmel, just as amazing! Beautiful location on Lake Carlos.

It was the best recovery experience I’ve had in my recovery.  I‘ve learned a lot about the A.A. 12 steps and learned a lot about myself.  I think a 12 Step retreat like this would benefit everyone and anyone, newcomer or old timer.  The speaker, Paul Fisher, really knows his way through the Big book and the 12 steps. The Mount Carmel facility is spectacular and it would be a weekend you’d never forget.
