My sponsor told me to attend OA events, and not only was it good for my program, but also it was a service to support all the OA members who organized the event and all the others who attended. So often I need to make attendance a priority—to let go of doing something else on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I may need to drive pretty far to attend an event, but none has ever really let me down. I’ve always been rewarded with at least one thing I can use to enhance my recovery. By attending OA events, I started to meet people from other meetings. This prompted me to consider doing service beyond the group level. Once that began, the entire concept of OA unity really became manifest for me. Whether doing service at the intergroup, region, or World Service Business Conference level, I began to understand in new ways the reality of OA as a “we” program. There are many paths to recovery in our Twelve Step program and, amazingly, always more than one way to solve a problem or accomplish a task for the good of OA. I’m grateful every day for the willingness to go to any length to grow in recovery. — Gail V.B., Virginia USA
