How Our Meeting Works

We will work the steps together over the course of 17 weeks. This means we can go through the Steps four times in one year. The current cycle of the Step Study will begin Jan 1st, 2023. The next cycle will begin on April 30th, 2023.

Through this Step study, we will use material and suggested homework provided by www.oasponsor.org. This is not an OA approved website or Step study. However, the suggested homework uses OA approved literature and recorded OA and AA meetings. The assignments are drawn from these resources.

This format (found at oasponsor.org) offers a way to work the Steps as conceptualized by an OA member who is abstinent and living a recovery lifestyle. Don't let what is said or the manner in which it is presented get in the way of gleaning the spiritual principles and tools of recovery that can be found here. This is a way to practice our 12th Tradition which states, "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all these traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

Each week, we will have homework through out the week. You can find the homework by clicking on that week's blog post. The homework includes readings, meeting recordings, and writing assignments for the Step we're focusing on that week.

For each week, you will find the following:

• tools that are suggested to support you as you work through the Steps

• a suggested schedule for that week's assignments

• a simplified list of the assignments without the schedule

• a Word document that lists all tools and assignments for the week, including a check list for each

• a Word document including the meeting script for that week's meeting

Anyone is welcome to join our meeting at any time. However, those who are wanting to work through the Steps are encouraged to get a Step Working Partner, Guide, or Sponsor with whom they will share their Step work each week. You are free to partner up with another member who is committed to working the Steps through this study.

To get to most from this Step Study, it is recommended that you commit to the Sunday meetings, set aside time for the homework, and arrange calls or get-togethers with your Step Working Partner, Guide, or Sponsor so that you don't fall behind.

To see what assignments are due for the next week, see our blog entries on the Home Page.
