Trapped inside this month and looking for safe ways to honor this month's principle of service? Here are some ideas!

  • 12/12 is Twelth Step Within Day, the perfect time to make outreach calls or send texts to other OA members. Isolation spells trouble for addicts, we need each other now more than ever!

  • Attend a Zoom meeting, phone meeting, or workshop. Yes, it really is that simple. Just showing up is an act of service! Your experience, strength and hope is what keeps OA alive.
  • Make a 7th Tradition donation via Paypal or Venmo.

  • Volunteer to lead a meeting, watch the time, or be a speaker.

  • Attend next month's Ocean and Bay Intergroup Meeting to get more involved, there is no abstinence requirement! All you need is willingness and an internet connection from 6:30-7:30pm on January 5th!

  • Consider sponsorship, when you are called to do so.

  • As always, carrying the message is one of the best acts of service we can do.
‌
