INFO

Our Purpose

Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating and to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.

Many Symptoms, the OA Solution

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.

In OA you will find members who are extremely heavy, even morbidly obese, moderately overweight, average weight, or underweight.

The symptoms are as varied as our membership: an obsession with body weight, size, or shape. Eating binges or grazing. Inability to stop eating. Preoccupation with diets. Starving. Excessive exercise. Inducing vomiting after eating. Excessive use of diuretics or laxatives. Fantasies about food. Constant preoccupation with food. Using food as a reward or for comfort.

The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.

Independence

There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology, or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside issues.
