Shared strength, courage, gratitude
I wanted to share how I was affected by all of the beautiful OA speakers at the convention this past weekend. I am so grateful for all of the honesty, hope, and joy they shared! Their strength and courage, gratitude, and recovery made me feel like I could climb any hurdle to my recovery, and they reaffirmed how working the Steps and relying on my HP can lead to miracles unlimited.
The whole weekend was a gift. I will never forget it or our speakers!

What would you think when asked to tell about your higher power?
The speakers at the NCOA Convention brought a diverse and timely message to me. Hearing their stories and their messages brought hope to me that I too could share in their recovery. I was fortunate to be able to spend time with several of them outside the formal conference setting. It was eye opening. One asked me “tell me about your higher power”. That was a “Wow” moment for me and led to a wonderful discussion.
One of the most rewarding things about the convention was meeting and bonding with new people. Expanding my OA Family is a blessing. Having the opportunity to give service there was very rewarding. OA is made up of an amazing group of people and getting to know more of them was wonderful. Now, how am I going to remember all those names?
