“I haven’t given service above the group level except Group Rep. But I am inspired by the work I see going on around me at events like this one. I am getting nudged to check out committees in this Intergroup and going to coffee afterward. I am inspired to take time for face -to -face meetings, be a part of Zoom meetings, and be part of all the moving parts of OA.” -Anonymous
“An experience that I could not miss.” I am grateful to be the Communication Committee Chair because I am learning how to work with people. I am practicing the discipline of follow through on what I promise to do. I also am learning about web design, social media applications beyond entertainment, and outreach to other groups.” -Anonymous
“Service you must not miss.” Sponsoring. I have learned so much about NOT running the show. I cannot make anyone recover, but I can share my E.S.H. and pray they are ready. I talked to a few who have recovered after moving to another sponsor. HP has made it possible for me to find acceptance and let go of expectations and offer myself for service.” -Anonymous
“I am grateful for my first act of service: staying after to put chairs and literature away. It broke me out of my isolation.” -Anonymous
“Service led me to meet people at Region and WSBC. It is uncomfortable for me, but I learned that I had value and had something to say. I learned service with family issues. The Twelve Traditions helped me maintain peace of mind and serenity in family relationships.” -Anonymous
“I am grateful to chair meetings. I have spoken also, I want to learn to be a Zoom host.” -Anonymous
My sponsor and sponsee experience is helping me see my own truth.” – Anonymous
