“I am a big fan of Lifeline. I read it during my daily quiet time and take it on trips. If my trip is short, I am not apt to make phone calls or attend meetings. Then the magazine really is a ‘lifeline.’ … Lifeline is one of the main OA tools I use myself and share with others.”
— Gail D., Claremont, California USA; “A Major Tool,” Lifeline, February 2009

Lifeline, OA’s international magazine, serves as an indispensable “meeting-on-the-go.” Since 1962, when the first issue debuted as the OA Bulletin, Lifeline has offered encouragement and hope to thousands of readers. Tucked in a purse, a suitcoat pocket or a lunch bag, Lifeline accompanies members around the world, ready to provide inspiration and support when needed.

The true stories in Lifeline, written by OA members, share the challenges and triumphs of recovery from compulsive overeating. Lifeline publishes a list of monthly topics and questions to encourage members to share their stories of experience, strength and hope. The Lifeline Writers Guidelines provide additional assistance to would-be writers, describing the submission process and giving guidance on how to write articles. A sample issue of Lifeline appears online, sharing with newcomers and Web-site visitors the support available in Lifeline’s pages. Lifeline readers can locate articles from the previous year by referring to the 2012 Lifeline index.

Don’t miss the opportunity to laugh, learn and love with OA members in recovery. A Lifeline story could be the turning point in your life. Subscribe today!
