I just attended my first online meeting on http://oa12step4coes.org/meetings.html
It took forever to find it!!! Before finding the online chat I found the 12 Step workbook and downloaded it, then did nothing! :-P

I definitely need the strength of a group to get me started.

I will be incorporating OA into my days because it is what I need most in my life right now. I have started an exercise routine and also a diet plan. I know that support from others is a very powerful motivator and uplifter, and it will really help "shape" me into the person I need to be to be proud of myself.

    There are also over 150 phone meetings every week. My favorites are on 712.432.5200 code 4285115# They start at about 4pm Pacific time and go on for at least 6 hours every night. A new meeting, with a new focus starts at the top of every hour. You don't have to share, you can just listen. I like the phone meetings, because they are in real time and people leave their phone numbers for outreach.
