Do You Care About the Quality of Your OA Group? This Podcast Can Help

OA has 5,800 registered meetings worldwide. From among them, would you say your OA group is welcoming and strong? Is it struggling? Or is it a good group that could still benefit from a few changes? If you care about the quality of your OA group, let’s “get grounded in groups” in this episode of Inside OA!

Take a few notes as host Meg M. interviews Bruce from Ottawa, Canada, a former OA trustee who has been abstinent since April 2005. Listen in as Bruce unpacks and examines in detail the importance of the group in personal recovery and the questions a group can ask itself to determine whether “its message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers” (Tradition Five) is truly a message of hope, strength, and recovery through OA’s Twelve Steps.
