5 Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry the message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principals in all our affairs *********** Steps are there for suicide prevention

6 Key Word: Service **************** Promise: Freedom from the lack of purpose The steps are for suicide prevention

7 Our real purpose is to fit ourselves to be of maximum service to God and the people about us. Big Book pg. 77

8 HP doesnt call those who qualify; He qualifies those He calls.

9 Service is the rent we pay to be on this earth. ********* We are wounded healers.

10 Then do it

13 Setting boundaries is not about setting up brick walls. ****** Assertive vs. aggressive

14 Besides, we have stopped fighting anybody or anything. We have to! (BB, pg. 103) ************** Principles before personalities

15 If we are not of service to ourselves; We cannot be of service to others.

16 If we keep doing what we have always done; we will get what we have always gotten. ************ Translation: if nothing changes…nothing changes!

17

18 Trust HP… Clean house… Help another overeater

19

20 This is a disease of isolation. (we care list) ********* We may be the only Big Book someone will ever see.

21

22 When all else fails, follow directions. ******* Keep on going. If you run into a brick wall; turn left. (anon)

23 Tradition #8 OA should remain ever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers. ************ Traditions are there for homicide prevention

24 We use tradition #8 not to work step #12, but to help the 12 th step work better for us. (AA, 12x12) *********** The money motive is the wrong motive. (AA 12x12)

25 You cannot keep what you dont give away. ******** We give freely that which we have been given for free.

26 Any form of service that helps reach a fellow sufferer adds to the quality of our own recovery. ******** Members can give service by getting to meetings, putting away chairs, putting out literature and talking to newcomers. ******** Beyond the group level, a member can serve as intergroup representative, committee chair, region representative or Conference delegate. ********** As OAs responsibility pledge states: Always to extend the hand and heart of OA to all who share my compulsion; for this, I am responsible.

27 If no one steps up; perhaps it does not need to be done. ************ Have problems getting people to help in your meeting?.... Time for a group inventory? (pgs 175-176, OA 12X12) *************** Old timers: put the keys, checkbook, &/or format on table as you leave.
