The 65th Birthday of the Overeaters Anonymous fellowship celebrated in Poland
“The 65th birthday of the Overeaters Anonymous fellowship was celebrated in Poland, commemorated with a unique online meeting entitled “What was born to me?”
The meeting gathered community members who wished to celebrate this special moment and share their experience. The meeting started with speeches by two speakers who spoke in an inspiring way about their recovery process, challenges and changes that took place in their lives thanks to their membership in the OA fellowship. Their testimonies aroused reflection and hope in the participants for further development within the spirit of the OA Twelve Steps programme.
The meeting was attended by 44 persons who actively shared their stories and thoughts. In an atmosphere of mutual support and acceptance, participants had the opportunity to celebrate not only the anniversary of the fellowship, but also their own progress in the recovery process.
The participants most often identified abstinence, emotional sobriety, serenity, self-forgiveness, friendship, weight loss, and improved personal relationships as the significant gifts they gained through their involvement in the OA and their dedicated work on the programme.
The event turned out to be a deep and moving experience, enabling OA fellows in Poland to share hope and the strength that comes from solidarity, while reaffirming their commitment to recovery and the transformative power of the Twelve Steps.
