Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The local English speaking 12-Step recovery groups in Puerto Vallarta will be hosting their 16th annual "Sobriety Under the Sun" convention from January 19 through 21, 2018 at the luxurious Westin Hotel and Spa in the Marina Vallarta area.

This year's theme is "Growing in Sobriety," with four main 12-Step Recovery Speakers:

Mari G. - Toronto, ON, Canada
Marty J. - Richmond, BC, Canada
Vannoy S. - Justin, TX, USA
Brian P. - Dallas, TX, USA

Online registration has closed but 75 registrations will be for sale on site from 2:00 pm on Friday, January 19 through Saturday the 20th. Hotel packages are available for those who wish to stay at the Westin Resort. Additional information can be found at aapvconvention.com.

More than 600 recovering alcoholics and other 12 Step recovery program members are expected to attend the Puerto Vallarta conference. Large speaker meetings, discussion groups, workshops, dinners and a Sober Cruise are all planned for the convention.

For those fortunate enough to stay an additional day, a big favorite for attendees is our Sober Cruise sailing on Monday, January 22nd. The Sober Cruise is a wonderful way to socialize with friends surrounded by the beauties of nature! Some would say that it's even "spiritual."
