Meeting News & Resources

"OA has no firm rules or regulations and no central authority.  Instead, OA groups (or meetings) are guided by the Twelve Traditions...Group work is done by volunteers...in the way members think best within the spirit of the traditions...We keep things as simple and uncomplicated as we can."
