2025 Speakers

Jacqui M. | Al-Anon Keynote Speaker

Favorite Slogan: “Together we can make it.”

Home Group: Keep Coming Back AFG, Sunday 9:00am, Portland, ME.

Favorite Way to Connect with her Higher Power: Sitting by the ocean, drive time and writing… not at the same time.

Wisdom for the Newcomer: There are so many “pearls of wisdom” for me from other members in meetings and in all the literature. Any wisdom I have to offer to others is from listening to someone who came before me who was willing to share their experience, strength and hope. Wisdom came to me from that and from spiritual growth in working the steps. So, keep coming back, listen, try. You are not alone.
