Our leader joined OA in 1988 weighing 200 pounds and was a chronic slipper for years before getting abstinent in 2000 and losing 75 pounds. She has a history of sexual trauma from childhood and is grateful that consistent step and tradition work has enabled her to move on and forgive the seemingly unforgivable. She’s helped many others who are dealing with similar trauma challenges and actively works the Maintenance Steps (10, 11, 12) daily.
