The July 20th OA RISE speaker meeting of Overeaters Anonymous provides a profound exploration into the miracles of recovery from compulsive overeating. Hosted by Cassie, a compulsive eater herself, the meeting opens with the serenity prayer, establishing a tone of hope and reflection.

The concept of miracles is woven throughout the stories, be it the miracle of finding serenity, reconnecting with family, or achieving long-term abstinence.
The meeting concludes with a call to continue sharing experiences, strength, and hope, inviting members to engage in service to support ongoing recovery efforts. Overall, the OA RISE meeting is a testament to the power of shared experiences and the profound impact of Overeaters Anonymous in guiding individuals towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
