Deadline Midnight (or 23:59, in your time zone, to be more precise), Sunday April 19, 2026
Secular Overeaters has a policy that new recovery meetings should choose a time that does not conflict with existing meetings. We’d like to know how the community feels about this policy, so we’re asking you to take a brief four question survey: https://forms.gle/pKYwxs9cvXSs2LLs8

If you’re an official OA meeting, you’re supposed to use only OA “conference-approved” literature. Here’s a list of OA readings (mostly from books) that are deity-free.
Secular OA Lifeline Stories
Volunteers compiled this list of secular and god-lite OA Lifeline stories for use at secular meetings or by individuals, and they are conference-approved! Your meeting can also make a copy of the Google Sheet and add things like a column to track the stories you’ve used.is4
