Welcome to OA

A fellowship of shared experience, strength & hope

Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating.

We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. 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.

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.

Our invitation to you

We have made a discovery.

At our very first meeting we learned there is a proven, workable method by which we can arrest our illness. The OA recovery program uses the Twelve Steps, moving beyond the food and the emotional havoc to a fuller living experience.

We are not a “diet and calories” club, and we don’t endorse any plan of eating. The basis of the program is spiritual — and the amazing secret to its success is that it’s weakness, not strength, that binds us to each other.

“If you decide you are one of us, we welcome you with open arms. Whatever your circumstances, we offer you the gift of acceptance.

You are not alone any more. Welcome home.”
