The best thing I have received from being in OA for the past 12 years is acceptance of myself and others and a resulting happier marriage.
Ever since Lifeline magazine ceased being printed, I’ve been wondering how to use my gift of writing for OA. When I learned that Lifeline could be accessed online, I realized that here was my opportunity. However, procrastination and perfectionism combined to make me hesitate. What a release to be able to write again.
The OA program works. Recently, I was able to locate a new sponsor in New Zealand. The first thing she discovered was that I was under-eating because I do not weigh myself. Adding the extra nourishment to my breakfast, in particular, has resulted in a healthier weight.
The best thing I have received from being in OA for the past 12 years is acceptance of myself and others and a resulting happier marriage. I thank God for leading me to OA. Though I have wanted to leave many times, I have stayed and begun to see the transformation of my outlook on life.
Thank you to all who have gone before to bring OA to us.
