Description:  This 15-week Step study is for OA members desiring to work or rework the 12
Steps. It will be based on the OA 12&12, the Big Book, and the AA 12&12. You will need all 3
books. The meeting is for OA members only, but is not a registered OA meeting, because there
are requirements for participation, and it will be closed to new entrants once the program has
begun. The Step study is free. Meeting structure: The first hour will be a review of your assigned
writings and discussion of the Step covered the previous week. In the second hour we will begin
the next Step. The last week of the 15 will include sponsor training and relapse prevention.   
Requirements For Participation

1. Have a sponsor. They will be needed to take your Step 5 and review your Step 9.
2. Be abstinent, and stay abstinent during the class, as you and your sponsor define it.
3. Have a plan of eating, as you and your sponsor define it. If you do not have a well-defined
   plan-of-eating or would like to tighten your current plan-of-eating, we encourage you to
   complete the 3-column food inventory before we begin. We will be doing this exercise in Step
   one. If you need a copy of the food inventory instructions, email Don.   
4. Complete all reading and writing assignments during the study. There will be lots of sharing,
   discussion, and calls. We will have a buddy system. You will be expected to participate. 
5. You will need Zoom, not a telephone connection, to the meeting.
6. Maintain consistent attendance; missing 3 consecutive meetings assumes withdrawal.
   Sessions start promptly at 4:00, so come a few minutes early.
7. There will be a lot of handouts (200+ pages) emailed to you during the 15 weeks. 
8. If you have not memorized the 12 Steps, you will need to before the end of the 15 weeks. 
9. Maximum registration of 25 people. Selections will be based on date of application if there
   are more than 25 applicants. You will be notified by mid-December. First preference is to
   members who have not previously attended, but second time attendees are not excluded if
   there is space.
