Join us at the Sex Inventory Workshop to help you in your steps and recovery. This is a free three (3) hour Zoom Workshop led by Judith R from North Dakota.
Now about sex. Many of us needed an overhauling there. But above all, we tried to be sensible on this question. It’s so easy to get way off the track…. We do not want to be the arbiter of anyone’s sex conduct. We all have sex problems. We’d hardly be human if we didn’t. What can we do about them? (pg. 68).
The sex inventory is the second part of the 4th step in AA. In this part of the step work, we look at our sexual behaviour and intimate relationships and where we have caused harm. This is our sex or conduct inventory. They look at initially our sex or romantic relationships but the questions can apply to other relationships. The purpose is not only to help my amend process but to look at my behavior so I can see what I need to have God change in my personality in steps six and seven.
Whatever our ideal turns out to be, we must be willing to grow toward it. We must be willing to make amends where we have done harm, provided that we do not bring about still more harm in so doing. In other words, we treat sex as we would any other problem. In meditation, we ask God what we should do about each specific matter. The right answer will come, if we want it (pg. 69).

A Warm Welcome to This Year’s Convention:
“We Came to Believe”
We are thrilled to welcome you all to the 16th Annual Primary Purpose International Convention in Oslo, Norway.
In 2006, a small group of A.A. members organized a speaker’s evening in Oslo. It was the beginning of what is now a significant annual A.A. event in Norway, which has drawn thousands of participants from around the country over the years and international guests from all over the world. Some of the most renowned international A.A. speakers have graced our convention.
This year, under the theme “We Came to Believe”, we focus on the spiritual awakening that is the cornerstone of our recovery. As the Big Book outlines, coming to believe in a Power greater than ourselves restores us to sanity and brings a new purpose to our lives. Our convention aims to reinforce this belief, offering a space for reflection, growth, and the sharing of experiences that renew our commitment to sobriety.
Join us in Oslo as we celebrate the journey of belief, recovery, and the unbreakable bond we share as members of A.A. Together, we will explore how our faith has transformed our lives, providing strength and hope for the future. We look forward to a weekend filled with inspiring talks, heartfelt fellowship, and the reaffirmation that we are never alone on this path.

Brisbane-Whitsunday and return (4 nights) March 18-22 in 2025
Announcing Australia’s inaugural sober cruise, marking a milestone event for Alcoholics Anonymous down under.
Originally planned pre-Covid-19 with 197 members signed up for the inaugural “Friends Of Bill” Cruise, which unfortunately had to be cancelled. However, with meticulous reporting to the AA Secretary, we’ve been granted the opportunity to relaunch the cruise as part of Alcoholics Anonymous’ 80th Anniversary celebrations. Mark your calendars for March 18-22, 2025, as we embark on this unforgettable journey aboard the P&O Pacific Encounter, departing from Brisbane to Whitsundays and back. With the cruise strategically scheduled just before the National Convention in Sydney (the main event for our 80th celebrations), overseas and traveling visitors can maximize their experience by attending both historic AA events. We aim to unite 400 AA, Alanon, and family members for this four-day voyage.
Professional travel agents, Ozcruising will exclusively handle all bookings, ensuring a seamless process. Don’t miss out on this incredible cruising opportunity —secure your tickets early as they’re selling fast!
