meetings are scattered through out the country. san jose, jaco, quepos and manuel antonio have regular meetings that i attend.
good luck and as always, call inner group.
crltdI’m glad to see this topic. How about Al Anon meetings in English? I looked online and could find only one (I think it was in Grecia). Is that really the case? Thanks.
been to meetings in several places,montezuma has A meeting,in the coolest shack.I wish I knew how to post pics.Jaco has AA and NA meetings.
in the states I’m solely NA,since I’m A junkie.yet when I lived in costa,and when I go back I cross dress.theirs not NA or AA everywhere so I’m ok with switch hitting.
and when I got clean in prison I actually had only AA so i’m familiar with all their lit. steps tr. concepts,and still stay abreast of it.
My biz partner,she’s an LCSW with all the extra letters and i have formed a corp for A long term facility for people from the states,and then A sponsorship program for the Ticos.
personally I don’t believe in short term facilities.I say 3-6 mos. or keep your money and go to meetings.I’ve been associatted with many friends,and an ex wife who’ve worked in centers.they are to engrossed in the profit,and ins. extortion.
I’ve been clean 22 years and have been fortunate to have seen it all.22 years is a blessing. congratulations.
the tropical oasis in esterillos centro has a minimum 60 day stay for $10,000 which is pretty inexpensive from what the state’s charge.
good group and one on one therapy. excellent food.
but yeah, they are in it to make money.
take care all,

crltd[/quote]they moved from Orotina?
I’m familiar with the facility.sat in many A meeting with A few of the guys there, and actually have maintained contact with some of the clients who chose to stay in touch.I don’t know if you’re looking for English meetings or Spanish. There are many Spanish meetings all over CR. English ones are a little fewer, but still findable. I lived in Grecia and there are English meetings on Mon, Wed, and Fri at noon. This isn’t too far from San Ramon.
I also got an e-mail, recently, announcing a new AA English meeting in San Ramon. Unfortunately I didn’t save it, but if you’re going to be in San Ramon, somebody must know about it.
Good luck.

Hi Vicky,

I will be researching it further, but wanted to touch base with you to thank you for your reply. I plan to stay in touch and perhaps hook up when I am there for the month. Where are you located? Where do you go to mtgs?Pura Vida,
KathyHi all friends of Bill W
I got waylaid with the holidays and forgot to check this site for responses to my post. Was delighted to hear from all of you. Besides finding my own mtgs and hooking up with the fellowship, I am seeking opportunities to offer equine-assisted psychotherapy to persons with addictions so am trying to locate people, programs, etc who might be interested in my services. Any ideas? Thank you for your reply. I plan to stay in touch and perhaps hook up when I am there for the month. I need a temporary sponsor while there. Am doing Step 4 so could use some help. Anyone available?
Pura Vida,
Kathy
