This is a pledge between two OA members to support and be accountable to one another. If you think this agreement could be helpful for you, fill out your name and other information as the “I” on one side of the form and have another OA member complete the other half. Cut the forms apart and exchange sides. Place the agreement in a prominent spot to remind you of your commitment to recovery and service.
