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.
