OA RISE | Recovery Inspires Shared Experiences

Health EN ↓ 114 episodes

OA RISE (#88993) is a registered meeting of Overeaters Anonymous. Our mission is to provide inspiring speaker meetings of both depth and authenticity, twice a month. We work to maintain a website so that we can continue to store our speaker recordings, with the hope that we can provide additional support to members of the OA fellowship. Together we get better. It is our aim to bring the voice and stories of both “circuit” and non-circuit speakers into focus, encouraging our own growth, as we spread hope through our stories of experience with other compulsive eaters.

When I got to OA all I wanted was to lose weight, then I thought all my problems would be solved. It’s turned out that the real gift of this program has been an awakening of the spirit from the inside out – a transformation that has given me a life I never knew was possible.

Come celebrate our freedom from food addiction. Together we can do what we could never do alone!! Let’s explore how we got to freedom, what we have tried that hasn’t worked as well, what we maybe know we need to try but are simply not willing to do, yet.

Growing My Faith and Strengthening My Spirituality 06.06.2021 2:39:22

Step 1 tells us that we are powerless and that only an act of providence, a miracle, will relieve us of the merciless obsession. The rest of the steps are all about seeking a miracle. We must form a relationship with our Higher Power. This meeting will be all about how we can build up our reserve of faith and grow spiritually.  Bring your big book and your 12 and 12!

Sponsoring Chronic Slippers (Sheila J.) 02.05.2021 2:35:17

Led by a veteran Overeaters Anonymous workshop leader who was a chronic slipper herself for a dozen years before getting abstinent 20 years ago, our event is a Big Book workshop for Chronic Slippers — both those who are slipping themselves AND those who want to be of service to those of us who have slipped for years and are still struggling to get abstinent.  Of necessity, we will be having a...

Flexibility Alongside Discipline (Judi H., Angie, Rossi, June, Chris) 18.04.2021 2:04:09

Initially beginning a disciplined relationship with our primary love object, our food, seems similar to starting any other diet. Later as the body and mind clear and we grow along spiritual lines, we learn about mindful eating, portion control, and leaning into longing as well as joy. Then we are moving toward establishing a more moderate relationship with food and life becomes more balanced and f...

Promises, Promises: 164 Pages of ‘Em! (Ira) 21.03.2021 2:36:50

At many OA meetings, a lot of members hear ’the 9th step promises’ read before the close. What a lot us don’t realize is, that there are a whole bunch of ‘Promises’ peppered all thru the 1st 164 pages of the Book from “Bill’s Story” to “A Vision for You”!  Join us as we find them & talk about where they are. The Amount of hope in these ‘Promises’ thru out the B.B. is absolutely amazing. G...
