Twelfth-Step-Within Statement of Purpose
To carry the same message of recovery to those who still suffer WITHIN the OA Fellowship.
- To deal with relapse and issues of membership retention offering the message of hope.
- To encourage OA members to maintain recovery and prevent relapse.
Anyone who is abstinent and working his or her own recovery can do Twelfth-Step-Within service. No special qualifications are necessary; only willingness is needed. We can all help carry the message of recovery through abstinence and working the Steps by
- being well ourselves;
- giving service, sponsorship, and friendship;
- encouraging membership retention;
- attending meetings and OA events.
ABSENT COUNTRIES AT THE A&C
OA meetings take place in over 40 countries throughout Region 9, but less than half are represented each year at our Annual Assembly and Conference.
If you’d like to help our volunteers reaching out to these absent countries, then please contact the Region 9 General Officer, and we’ll add you to the team.
If you’re from a country that did not participate last year, and you would like to apply for funding to attend this year’s Assembly and Conference, please contact our treasurer.
