Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried
to carry the message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these
principals in all our affairs
***********
Steps are there for suicide prevention

****************Promise:
Freedom from the lack of purpose
The steps are for suicide prevention

Our real purpose is to fit ourselves
to be of maximum service to God
and the people about us.
Big Book pg. 77

HP doesn’t call those who qualify;
He qualifies those He calls.

Service is the rent we pay to be on this earth.
*********
We are wounded healers.

Then do it

Setting boundaries is not about setting up brick walls.
******
Assertive vs. aggressive
![Page 13: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Besides, we have stopped fighting anybody or
anything. We have to! (BB, pg. 103)
**************
Principles before personalities
![Page 14: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
If we are not
of service to ourselves;
We cannot be
of service to others.
![Page 15: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If we keep doing
what we have always done;
we will get what we have always gotten.
************
Translation: if nothing changes…nothing changes!

Trust HP…
Clean house…
Help another overeater

This is a disease of isolation.(we care list)
*********We may be the only Big Book
someone will ever see.

When all else fails, follow directions.
*******
Keep on going.
If you run into a brick wall;
turn left. (anon)
![Page 22: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tradition #8
OA should remain ever nonprofessional,
but our service centers
may employ special workers.
************
Traditions are there for homicide prevention
![Page 23: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We use tradition #8 not to work step #12,
but to help the 12th step work better for us. (AA, 12x12)
***********
The money motive
is the wrong motive. (AA 12x12)
![Page 24: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You cannot keep
what you don’t give away.
********
We give freely that which
we have been given for free.
![Page 25: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Any form of service that helps reach a fellow sufferer adds to the quality of our own recovery.
********
Members can give service by getting to meetings, putting away chairs, putting out literature and talking to newcomers.
********
Beyond the group level, a member can serve as intergroup representative, committee chair, region representative or
Conference delegate.
**********
As OA’s responsibility pledge states: “Always to extend the hand and heart of OA to all who share my compulsion; for this, I
am responsible.”
![Page 26: Welcome to OA State Convention 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b1c550346895dc8ce38/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If no one steps up;
perhaps it does not need to be done.
************
Have problems getting people to help in your meeting?....
Time for a group inventory? (pgs 175-176, OA 12X12)
