Rozanne’s Prayer (OA's Founder) I put my hand in yours, and together we can do what we could never do alone. No longer is there a sense of hopelessness, no longer must we each depend upon our own unsteady willpower. We are all together now, reaching out our hands for power and strength greater than ours, And as we join hands, we find love and understanding... Beyond our wildest dreams! |
UPDATE YOUR MEETING CONTACT INFOTo receive important information to help your meeting thrive:
We need every meeting to identify a contact person, who will receive Intergroup correspondence and share it with their group members. NOTE: Whenever the contact person changes, the group needs to notify the intergroup by email: oa.inlandempire.email@gmail.com, providing the name, phone number, email address, and snail mail address of the new contact. Anyone can be added to our email lists simply by requesting to be added via the same above email address. However, in addition, each group needs a specific designated representative. Our main goal in sending out these communications is to keep all groups and individuals informed about what’s going on in the intergroup. Some examples of our regular communications are the Lifeboat, workshops, marathon meetings, and Intergroup meeting information to help all groups. Monthly Inspiration
Slogan for the month: One day at a time. (The slogans have been called the handrails of the steps.) Step of the month - Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over food — that our lives had become unmanageable. Prayer for the month: Dear Lord, I admit that I am powerless over my food addiction. I admit that my life is unmanageable when I try to control it. Help me this day to understand the true meaning of powerlessness. Remove from me all denial of my addiction. In All Of Our Affairs
Service gladly rendered, obligations squarely met, troubles well accepted or solved with God's help, the knowledge that at home or in the world outside we are partners in a common effort, the fact that in God's sight all human beings are important, the proof that love freely given brings a full return, the certainty that we are no longer isolated and alone in self-constructed prisons the surety that we can fit and belong in God's scheme of things - these are the satisfactions of right living for which no pomp and circumstance, no heap of material possessions, could possibly be substitutes. - Bill W.
