The Live and Let Live Alano Club of San Diego
Building Hopes Building Dreams Everyday since 1983
Membership is more than a cup with your name on it, and a discount at the snackbar. It is about having our own place, a public presence, location, and a physical example in the LGBT community of service, recovery, unity, and love. It's about a place we share: a LGBT ‘safe haven’ that welcomes all as equals without bias, to recovery, fellowship, and renewed life. It is about having a safe place to go that is open 365 days a year including ALL holidays. It is all about that new person starting recovery, with nowhere else to go but up, who finds an experienced recovery community already doing what he or she may doubt they can do, living sober happy lives.
The Club was started by and is supported primarily by it's Membership. Meetings pay rent but the Members subsidize and fundamentally support the Club, as they have for 28 years. The LLLAC would cease to exist without the generosity and commitment to service of it’s Members who give of their time and treasure month after month, year after year, as yet another form of service to help others find recovery from addiction.
If you are a Member we sincerely thank you. If you are not yet a member or are thinking of rejoining we urge you to joins us to keep the LLLAC going and assure it’s future.
Our Members are the backbone of the LLLAC. Our doors would have closed long ago if it weren't for the comittment to community and service of members paying dues month after month, year after year for almost three decades. Many of our Members are individuals that first came to the club seeking to turn their lives around, (or right side up!) with the 12 steps of recovery (first developed by AA and later adapted to many other programs like Alanon, CA, MA, OA etc. etc). Many of those same members have sustained long term recovery measured in decades and many still return to be of service through membership and/or direct service to the club and those we serve. Other Members may not be in recovery themselves but understand the need for recovery and wish to partake of the vibrant community at the LLLAC at open meetings, events, workshops etc.
There are some small limited benefits to membership such as discounts on ticketed events, LLLAC cafe items, wireless access, and unlimited use of facility during non meeting hours but for most of us membership is mainly a way to be of service back to the community which freely gave to us, so we could fnd a new way of life. Just like in the Big Book of AA it tells us we must give it away to keep it. We want the club to be there and open for anyone with an interest in living a sober life. Membership is one small way of doing that.
