Welcome to a brand new regular feature where members are invited to highlight their home group and share a little about how it has benefited their recovery! Since I am starting up this column, I needed to highlight a meeting to get this started, so… I chose my own home groups! {editor’s privilege? lol}
My home meeting is brand-spankin’ new! The Experience, Strength and Hope Meeting!! We just registered ourselves on OA.org and set ourselves up on OA Foot Step’s original platform 2933 55 222 {pw: 1212} on both Wednesday AND Sunday evenings at 7PM Eastern time. At this time both meetings will be using the same script, and follow a similar format.
This is a special kind of meeting, near and dear to my heart! It’s all about sharing the message of recovery, a creative process through prayer and meditation, by journaling, writing, drawing, crafting, playing music that might be shared here, on the Experience, Strength and Hope Newsletter to help compulsive eaters who still suffer.
Each month we will focus on the upcoming Step, Tradition and Concept of the month, as well as the Quarterly themes that are upcoming. This month, for example, the quarterly theme is Sponsorship. Our next themed edition will be in January, and it is affectionately called: New Year’s re:Solutions! It’s all about finding Solutions to our disease, offering hope to all those that might find us with a new ‘resolve’ for the year!
This is a meeting first and foremost to focus upon our own personal recovery. Following a period of creative meditation on the topic that is shared, we take time to share on it. It’s a great environment. All skill levels are welcomed. There are no critiques, nor is there accolades, both of which might be construed as cross-talk. There is simply sharing the message of recovery as we come to understand ourselves and learn from each other’s shares. We learn that we are, each of us, the Message! We can be a beacon of hope to another compulsive eater, even if it is our very first day in this program!
We would welcome you to join us! Wednesday and Sunday at 7PM Eastern on OA Foot Steps.
