About OA
OA Program of Recovery
Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive overeating using the Twelve Steps and 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.
"The OA recovery program is essential to each one of us. Our very survival depends on it. Without it, many of us would soon be so thoroughly occupied with compulsive eating we would have little time or energy left to do anything else - including effectively supporting those other causes which mean so much to us." The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, p. 186
