Delegates’ Corner
“What Service Means to Me”
Yesterday I raised my hand to do service at a meeting. But I'm
getting ahead of myself. Approximately 6 weeks ago when I
was struggling with food, still going to meetings but feeling
disconnected, I realized I had no service commitments. I knew
that being of service, that reaching out to help a meeting, that
raising my hand to say my name is Arline and I will take that
service position would draw be back in from the sidelines.
According to the 7th Tradition, every OA
group ought to be fully self-supporting,
declining outside contributions.

Part of my thinking was that I'd been around for a while so let
the new people be of service. I realized I was making it a them
and me program. It is a we program. We are waiting for you to
join us and be of service.

1. Inigo Montoya from “The Princess Bride”.
Anyone who spends his entire life in the
revenge business needs to do some serious 4th
step work. Can you say “resentments?”
2. The witch from Hansel and Gretel. Sure,
she gave up flour and sugar, but she couldn’t
say no to some tasty twins. Just goes to show
that some of us can literally binge on anything!
3. Santa Claus: Ol’ St. Nick may come off jolly
and altruistic, but deep down, he knows he
does it all for that stale plate of cookies that’s
been sitting out since bedtime. A true
compulsive eater.
4. Darth Vader: Talk about an egotistical, wants
to be his own [and everyone else’s] Higher
Power maniac, who went self-will-run-rioting all
over the galaxy.
5. The Incredible Hulk: If ever there was a guy
who needs to learn to meditate. Dude – get a
grip on Step 11 and you’ll save yourself sooo
much money in new pants . . . which you can
then place in the 7th tradition basket. ;-)
Honorable mention: Cookie Monster, The Hamburgler,
Wimpy [Popeye’s broke, beef-addicted buddy].
