New Inside OA Podcast Explores Tradition Seven and Step Twelve

In this episode of Inside OA, host Meg M. talks with BJ, an abstinent food addict and bulimic who has most recently been serving as an OA trustee and trustee liaison to Region Two. Together, they discuss their perspectives and practices of Tradition Seven and Step Twelve.

BJ cites her favorite quote from the OA Twelve and Twelve book, “Change begins with honesty” (p. 30), and relates how honestly looking at her varied charitable contributions led her to focus her contributions on OA. “You just do all you can for the nonprofits that you believe in and this is the nonprofit that I believe in,” she says.

When it comes to Step Twelve, BJ also made a decision to commit more broadly and deeply to OA service, including carrying the message in her community. “It’s really about stepping into the world again, among the living,” says Meg. Listen in as Meg and BJ share effective and practical ways to get the word out about OA.
