What is Twelfth Step Within, and how does it help ME?

(It’s for everyone, no matter how long you are in OA)

THE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE TWELFTH STEP WITHIN COMMITTEE

To carry OA’s message of recovery to those who still suffer within the OA fellowship
To deal with relapse and issues of membership retention, offering the message of hope
To encourage OA members to maintain recovery and prevent relapse

That’s a great purpose! How does the Virtual Region’s Twelfth Step Within Committee do this? I need help!

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE? That THERE IS A SOLUTION.
The Twelfth Step Within activities support the solution.

HOW?

Step Studies – We use the 15-week Twelve Step Workshop and Step Study Guide (Green book) to hold the 15-week Step Study Workshops and assist Intergroups holding the 15-week Step Study Workshops to meet the demand of members for support in working the steps.

Sponsorship – A Sponsor/Sponsee bank is in progress to connect sponsors and sponsees. In the meantime, we continue to offer Workshops on Sponsorship.
