SoberPride 2008 coincides with – but is not affiliated with – EuroPride. EuroPride is the annual Gay Pride celebration that rotates each year to a different country in Europe. This summer, 2008, Sweden will be hosting EuroPride in its beautiful capital city of Stockholm, land of the midnight sun. For more information on EuroPride, see HYPERLINK "http://www.stockholmpride.se"www.stockholmpride.se.
We have scheduled SoberPride to coincide with EuroPride for all who absolutely insist on enjoying Pride... SOBER!

AA Meetings in Stockholm are available in many languages including Swedish, English, Finnish, Spanish, Polish and Russian. While the Lost & Found Group is the only officially designated Gay/Lesbian (glbt/hbt) AA meeting in Stockholm, AA in Sweden does not discriminate against anyone. Our common welfare comes first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity. For more information email SoberPride2008@gmail.com.
