On March 24, 2018, two groups of Charlotte OA members attended a Recovery Workshop held in Greensboro, NC.  They started off with a funny icebreaker, moved on to an abstinence workshop and then had a strong speaker.

Following that, we paired off and were given a recovery issue to discuss. There was a lot of recovery there but the best part for me was the honest and sincere sharing. There’s nothing like a good workshop to put some inspiration into my program! It was so nice to meet and share with other recovering OA folks. The fellowship and community of OA is very valuable to me; another blessing from my Higher Power:

a true gift! 💝

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to attend Unity Day 2018. It was a true example of many people coming together from all backgrounds of life and from different areas of the world to share in the healing of this program. I related to the speaker — no matter where we come from, OA offers the same love, strength, hope and solutions to everyone. All OA members are united and can feel at home at any meeting.

It took me a while to get all the answers to the jumble game we played for the Serenity Prayer. This also showed me that it takes time to recover in this program, at different paces but as one family. It was especially touching to me as we all read the OA promises holding hands together reciting “I put my hand in your and together we can do what we could never do alone.”
