SPEAKERS

The L.A. Intergroup
Virtual Speakers Bureau

We of the L.A. Intergroup consider ourselves fortunate to live in an area where we can hear from so many strong and inspirational program speakers.  We wish to share their talks with you. Whether you are struggling in the middle of the night, living in a remote location, or just need a boost, these speakers will help you remember that you are not alone. 

NOTE: Some of these sound files are clearer (and louder) than others. It is NOT your computer! Also, many of the speakers prior to 2006 are files made up from two sides of a tape, so there might be a small gap in the middle where the tape was reversing. To download, right click on the 'Download' link, then choose 'Save Target/Link As' and place the file on your computer. Then you can later double click on it to listen at your leisure. Enjoy!

The opinions expressed by the speakers do not represent OA or the LAIG as a whole. These files may not be re-posted on any other websites, but may be placed onto a CD for personal use. Sale of such CDs by an authorized OA Intergroup or Region is possible, provided permission is requested by the LAIG in advance.

Have any feedback about this site?  Want help starting your own OA Speaker Page?  Drop us a
line at our EMail address (program related EMail, see the Home page). We'd love to hear from you!
