I am a grateful, abstinent, Lifeline-subscribing member of OA. I love and appreciate our magazine. I have a stack of old Lifelines, and recently my HP inspired me to suggest a good way to use them.

When making a Twelfth Step Within call, why not give the prospect a copy of an old Lifeline? I like this idea and recently I tried it. Not only did it allow me to repurpose the magazine, but also it helped me make sure a member in relapse received the examples of strong recovery that are available in our “Meeting on the Go.” I was able to leave knowing that a still-suffering compulsive eater in our Fellowship was now better equipped to come back to our program.

Making a Twelfth Step Within call with Lifeline felt pretty good, and I can make many more calls with my five-year collection.
