Different Ways of Finding Recovery

In this story, two OA members share their paths to recovery. One is marked by the significant decision to change sponsors. The other, trying different meetings until landing upon the right specific-focus meeting. Says one of the members, “Thank you, OA, for embracing and encouraging diversity. No matter where I am in my recovery process, my needs are met.”

Different Paths to Unity

Part of a Unity with Diversity series of stories from the February 2018 Lifeline, OA members Heidi and Lynda demonstrate how the diverse paths of a) coming back to meetings regardless and b) avoiding OA altogether for 30 years can both lead us (eventually) to unity and recovery.
