Upcoming Workshops

Accountability Buddy Workshop for Secular Overeaters
Sunday, January 26, 2025  | 9AM PT/Noon ET/5PM UK
Join this one-hour presentation to learn about the concept of Accountability Buddies, practice new skills, and get tips on how to find one of your own. A buddy is a great way to get more secular OA support, especially if you don’t have a sponsor yet or if you have a nonsecular sponsor. Register here BY MIDNIGHT, Saturday, Jan 25, for a reminder and the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/kFeNaiGVN1JqNzMz7

God-free Readings for OA Meetings

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.
