OA Spirit: The Power of Tradition in Recovery

Abstinence is spiritual, emotional and physical wellness. Tradition provides an open forum for any and all OA members to create an OA meeting with their preferred format, time, and location, so long as the commonness of the OA spirit of unity is present.
Imagine a space where the power of tradition fuels unity, wellness, and recovery. That's what you'll find in this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', titled 'OA Spirit'. Host Lauren Lansrud dives into how Overeaters Anonymous (OA) traditions foster a supportive environment for those battling food addiction. The first tradition, 'our common welfare should come first', is a guiding principle that underscores the importance of unity in personal recovery.
This sense of community is built on shared steps, traditions, tools, and approved literature that guide members towards abstinence and overall well-being. Abstinence in OA isn't just about avoiding certain foods; it's about achieving spiritual, emotional, and physical health. This episode explores how these elements intertwine to create a holistic approach to recovery. Tradition also allows OA members the flexibility to create meetings that fit their needs, as long as the spirit of unity is maintained.
By focusing on the threefold abstinence—spiritual, emotional, and physical—OA Spirit aims to tackle the threefold disease of food addiction. If you're looking for insights into how tradition can be a cornerstone for recovery, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
