I have gained, lost, gained, lost, so many times I'm afraid to
try anything now... but am considering trying OA... I'd love to
read more posts about anything to do with OA that might
help me make a decision... Thank you ~

anyone use the phone bridge instead of going to face to face meetings? There are no meeting where I live and wanted anyone feedback

I have been in OA for 10 years and absitment in OA HOW for over 7 years. I am lucky to live in an area with lots of meetings, but I do know people who do not have face to face meetings and are able to work the program just fine. In fact, someone i talk to almost every day has been working OA HOW from a small town where there is no HOW meeting and only a few OA meetings with little recovery.

Here is a link to information on the Wed night OA HOW phone meeting. There may be others as well, but this is the one my firend attends.

I cannot post a link here becuase the system won't let me, but if you do a google search for "oa-how phone meeting" it will be one of the 1st results you ge tback

Here is information on OA-HOW: oahowmeetings.squarespace.com

If you click on the blue link for a particular day you can download the meeting format for the meeting on that particular day.

In the meeting format you can learn about exactly how the HOW format works. Better yet; hop on a phone meeting and you can learn about how the format works from members for whom the format works!
