Call for Newsletter Articles!

 

Come!

Share your experience, strength, and hope!

Don't let your perception of your creative skills deter you from being published!

If you'd like, we will edit for grammar, spelling, and clarity, no problemo. ;) 

 

 We would love to hear from you!

Let your story help a fellow recover!

We never know what will set another to walk the

"road of happy destiny!"

 

      Write on any topic related to your recovery and/or to the OA Program.

Here are some ideas:

  • Tell your story.  Who were you when you first found OA?  How have you changed since then?
  • Share your thoughts on the Steps or Traditions; your favorite, the Step or Tradition of the month, the one that was most difficult and how you got through it.
  • Write about the tools. How do you use them? Write about a tool that you love – or hate.  Does your sponsor require that you use any or all of the tools?  Do you require this from your sponsees?
  • What gifts have you received through Program?
  • Is there an OA slogan that has special meaning for you?
  • Pick a Program related word and write about it.  Examples: gratitude, abstinence, humility.
  • Draw a picture or cartoon.
  • Write a poem.
