About the FAFO Retreat

The retreat is led by Father John, who brings over 30 years of sobriety and spiritual insight.

 Organized by Cocaine Anonymous members from across Europe and the United States, the weekend is a truly international gathering of hope, faith, and courage.

 Any proceeds from the event go directly to CA.

Why a FAFO Retreat?

All over the world, there are young people who’ve gotten sober through Cocaine Anonymous and the 12 steps — full of energy, ambition, and a hunger to live life for real.

But being young in recovery isn’t always easy.

You might be the only one your age in your local meetings, surrounded by people twice your age — and at the same time, it’s hard to relate to friends your age who are still out partying every weekend.

This retreat is for you.

A chance to meet others like you from across the world. To build real friendships, rooted in shared experience — not just drinking stories.

Together, we’ll share a weekend of spiritual growth based on the 12 steps and experience what happens when young people in recovery come together with purpose.

Different countries, same background.

Same fire.

Same solution.

Stay a few extra days in Stockholm — you won’t regret it.

The local CA fellowship is excited to welcome you and show you their city in full summer mode.

This is a place where the sun barely sets, where night feels like an endless golden hour, and where every moment is an opportunity to connect, explore, and celebrate life in recovery.

Join a meeting with other young people in the program — English-speaking, open-hearted, and filled with experience and laughter.

Swim in the city — yes, really. Stockholm is built on islands, and you can dive into clean, refreshing water right in the middle of downtown. Day or night.

Go dancing — check out a club, feel the music, and enjoy the kind of night that doesn’t need alcohol to be unforgettable.

Stay up late — watch the sun refuse to set, walk through the quiet streets, talk about life, recovery, and everything in between.

Meet people — not just from Sweden, but from all over the world. Young people like you who’ve found a new way to live, and want to share it.

These moments make lifelong memories — come for the retreat, and stay for the magic.
