Telephone Meetings

Beginning Thursday March 8, 2012 we will host a one hour weekly meeting at 6:30 pm pacific. Anyone may call in and participate if they wish to, or just listen. First names only are used, so anonymity and confidentiality are maintained.

To connect, dial (530) 881-1300, then enter access code #209992 - unblock your number when calling in for best results. You will be prompted to "mute" your phone when you are not sharing so as to keep background noise to a minimum. The host will begin the meeting at the specified time, and use the format below.

Your host for the meeting is: Reno Linda

"My commitment is for six months with hopes of others stepping up to volunteer to host meetings. I hope there will be volunteers to host other meetings as it would be great to see daily meetings come to fruition.  Please contact me at this e-mail address for information about hosting: renonvlr@yahoo.com"
 

Readings:

Suggested Format

Open with prayer - leader or volunteer
 

1) meeting protocol:

  • We are here for our mutual recovery , so speak only when the leader recognizes you and wait for others to finish sharing.

  • please keep your phone in "mute" mode (*6) when not sharing, to reduce background noise.

  • Avoid offering suggestions or methods of fixing another person's problems, allowing individuals to experience their pain without your interference

  • Abusive, obscene, or other disruptive language or actions will result in the caller being blocked from participation in the current meeting.

  • Questions can be handled AFTER the meeting so that sharing will not be interrupted. 

  • If you have used alcohol or any mood-altering chemical within the past 24 hours, we ask you not to share until after the meeting.

2) introductions/newcomers
 

3) Volunteers (or host) to read OO Preamble and 12 steps with Scriptures
 

4) Topic or step study- read a scripture (host may assign one), share on the verse, how it applies to you today (five minute limit on discussions).

 

5) Leader reads: "We pass the basket to help support the O.O. Central Office.  In sending donations to support  O.O.’s Central Office, we not only have a chance to give something back for all we’ve been given, but we also provide the means necessary to carry Christ’s recovery message of HOPE to people around the world. To send in "pass the basket" donations, purchase literature, or for more information, visit the website overcomersoutreach.org, or mail to Overcomers Outreach, 12828 Acheson Drive, Whittier, CA  90601. Personal donations are tax-deductible."

Then  leader or volunteer reads the 12 Traditions of OO.

 

6) Close with Serenity prayer (full version preferred)

 

7) "After the meeting" discussions encouraged to exchange phone numbers and provide additional support.  (call this time "in the parking lot")
