Anyone else do OA?

SusieT · 09-25-2009, 03:21 PM

Hi! I lost all my weight with OA and LC and was wondering if anyone else here does. I love them both they have saved my life.

Geeze I'm now thinking this is annonymous so if you would rather pm me its ok I'll keep you annonymous.

Hello, Yes I also have been in OA, but haven't been since May because of the hectic summer. I have been seriously considering going back though. Back in the spring I lost 27 pounds and have gained 30 or more throughout the summer. I am sure you can relate seeing as you are also an OA member. I would love to chit chat sometime.

Oa is a great program with lots of support and none of the judgement! Great job Susie!

I've attended an online meeting, which was nice but probably not representative of a real life meeting. I go to my first RL OA meeting on Tuesday.

I've been in AA for a long time and was trying to deal with my Carb Addiction with the 12 Steps, but it's hard without guidance and support.

So I went to the OA meeting place. It was in a fairly large church so I wandered around for quite a while before I found anyone. They directed me to the correct room, but no one was there. I got back on the web and called the contact person, it just happened that they had agreed to give that particular meeting a miss... car trouble, illness, just turned out to be a bad night.

Good to know they call around to each other and I did get to meet a lovely lady of the church and talk to the OA contact person for a short while.

Hi sorry I've not got time to come back and post here.
Its good to see others interested in OA it is a wonderful
program. I got to two meetings a week unless working.
wish I had time for me. I do supplement with some online ones
a couple times a week also.

Hi SusieT!

I finally got to the Tuesday meeting in my area the other day. They were all very nice and it was much as I expected it to be. But it's pretty far away. I might have to try to start another meeting in my town.

SusieT · 10-27-2009, 12:04 PM

Starting your own meeting is a great idea. I have a friend who did and at first it was just 2 people and now it has blossomed. What great service it is to do that.

I'm going back there tonight, maybe I will mention it to them and see if they think it's a good idea for this area.
