What is OA?
 

_________________________________________________________________________

 

Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive eating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. We are not a diet club. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer.

Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive overeating using The Twelve Steps and The Twelve Traditions of OA. Worldwide meetings and other tools provide a fellowship of experience, strength and hope where members respect one another's anonymity. OA charges no dues or fees; it is self-supporting through member contributions.

Unlike other organizations, OA is not just about weight loss, obesity or diets; it addresses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is not a religious organization and does not promote any particular diet. To address weight loss, OA encourages members to develop a food plan with a health care professional and a sponsor. If you want to stop your compulsive eating, welcome to Overeaters Anonymous.

To find out if you are a compulsive eater - take the test by going to the 15 Questions Page.
