August is HOT, but OA news is COOL

AUGUST 2010 OASIS NEWSLETTER

Is the Summer Heat Getting To You?

It's been a difficult summer. I don't know if it's the heat, but I sure would like to find something or someone else to blame for my lack of abstinence this summer. However, in the end I realize I have lapsed in working the program. First, I quit calling my sponsor on a daily basis. Then, I missed a meeting, then two, then three. It's helpful to be reminded during the heat of August that I am powerless over food, but I am only alone if I choose to be. I'm back at the beginning, and that's OK. Anonymous Read More

"I'm a Newcomer - Again!"

(excerpt from an article in Lifeline, 1995 by R.E., Prince George's County, Maryland USA) "After almost seven years in OA and several months of solid abstinence, I relapsed recently. I ate over some feelings and, much to my surprise, the food didn't change anything! Feeling a bit foolish, I got back on track by contacting my sponsor and starting all over again. I decided to approach my relapse as if I were a newcomer. I began by writing down my food plan and reporting it each day to my sponsor. I chose to go to 90 meetings in 90 days. And, I began to reread OA literature with a fresh point of view. One of the pieces I read was the pamphlet, "To The Newcomer" -- and it's all there! The words rang true in a new way for me; it was as if I were reading this for the first time." Sound familiar? Visit www.tulsaoa.org to find a meeting, reconnect with a sponsor, pick up some old (or new) literature. It may be HOT in August, but it's COOL in OA! Read More
