Page i Acknowledgment We would like to thank Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) for allowing us to adapt their Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions for Obsessive Compulsive Disorders. Their help and cooperation from the start has made our road smoother. This time-tested program, detailed in "Alcoholics Anonymous"1and "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions"2has brought recovery for thousands of alcoholics. Patterning Obsessive Compulsive Anonymous after A.A has also brought recovery among us. What follows is Obsessive Compulsive Anonymous' experiences with the Twelve Step program and not those of A.A. Our personal stories are included in the hope that those reading them might benefit as much as we who have written them. 1AlcoholicsAnonymous (New York: A.A. World Services Inc., 1976). 2Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (New York: A.A. World Services Inc., 1981).

Page iii Foreword Obsessive Compulsive Anonymous (OCA) is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from OCD. There are no dues or fees; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. OCA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to recover from OCD and to help others.*
