In this month’s Twelfth Step Within e-blast, “8 Practical Lessons A Member Learned About Relapse and Recovery in OA,” a member reflects on powerful insights gained through working the Twelve Steps. Drawing from an OA Lifeline article, this issue explores the difference between addressing the allergy of the body and the obsession of the mind, the importance of surrender, acceptance as a compulsive overeater, and the daily commitment to living Steps Ten, Eleven, and Twelve. This message from the Region 3 Twelfth Step Within Committee offers encouragement and practical wisdom for anyone seeking renewed abstinence and spiritual growth.
