The 4th Annual Happy Destiny Retreat is coming – May 7 - 9 at Camp Greentop in Thurmont, MD. Thanks for checking out the website for Happy Destiny Retreat, a 12-Step Retreat based in Montgomery County, MD. We're planning a weekend filled with workshops, sober fellowship and fun activities to enhance your sobriety and reward you spiritually. Our committee is guided by the spiritual principles of AA -- Happy Destiny is fully self-supporting and includes service work for all participants. “We can only clear the ground a bit. If our testimony helps sweep away prejudice, enables you to think honestly, encourages you to search diligently within yourself, then if you wish, you can join us on the Broad Highway. With this attitude, you cannot fail. The consciousness of your belief is sure to come to you.” – AA Big Book, Ch. 4, p. 55
