The OA World Service Office released a brand new newcomer pamphlet — that’s right, pamphlet, as opposed to our old friend the “newcomer packet” — in January.

The new resource, now available for purchase on the www.oa.org bookstore for only $1 each, consolidated the resources within the newcomer packet into a single 32-page pamphlet.

The pamphlet, called “Where Do I Start?”, includes:

• The Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous
• A letter to the newcomer who might be questioning whether OA is right for her or him
• Overview of the nine tools of recovery
• More information about developing a food plan
• FAQs
• Prayers one might hear in OA
• Welcome letter to the newcomer
• A blank page for fellows to fill in names and phone numbers
• The Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous

Purchase a handful of pamphlets for your home group today, or encourage your meeting’s literature representative to do so, so this important resource will be available to the newcomers in your rooms.
