Loop Meeting 4 COE's is an email loop that is formatted like an OA meeting. A topic is brought up on a regular schedule, and members share their experience, strength, and hope on the topic, or on anything they need for their recovery, just as they would do in an OA meeting. There is no crosstalk, feedback, or advice-giving on this loop. The only requirement to join this loop is a desire to stop eating compulsively. We welcome newcomers!
Our email loop has some basic guidelines that all members must follow. Please, read the following guidelines and be sure to follow them when you begin to share on our loop:
Guideline 1: On this loop we share our experience, strength, hope and inspiration with fellow compulsive overeaters. Our purpose is to encourage, develop and strengthen our recovery from compulsive overeating by sharing positive messages that reflect an interest in gaining a better understanding of the 12 Traditions of OA.
Guideline 2: Although ours is a spiritual program, each member of our groups interprets this spiritual side in his/her own way. Therefore, in order to protect the spiritual program of all our members, in general 12step4coes intergroup loops and meetings we use the terms God, God of my understanding, or higher power, when referring to our spiritual work.
Guideline 3: Negative messages that attack or put down other members of this loop are called "flaming" and are not allowed. If you have something personal to discuss with someone, please email them privately. Members who choose to "flame" on our loop will lose their privilege to share on the loop. Thanks for helping make our loop a safe place for all of us to share.
Guideline 4: Since this is a formal meeting loop, informal chit-chat is not permitted. If members wish to chat informally via their private email addresses, they may sign their email with their private address in order to let others know they wish to chat informally, just as some members chat informally after regular OA meetings. Members who do not wish to chat informally write "No Chat Please" after their name when they sign their email.
