What Is Overeaters Anonymous?
OA is a community of people who support one another in recovery from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors.
Our Primary Purpose
Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors and to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.
Fellowship of Recovery
You are not alone. Join over 6,500 groups in over 75 countries worldwide.
Serenity & Grace
We find recovery through a spiritual path, not a clinical one, embracing diverse beliefs and backgrounds.
The OA Promise
"I put my hand in yours, and together we can do what we could never do alone."
Three Pillars of Recovery
Physical
Abstinence from compulsive eating behaviors and the relief from the obsession with food.
Emotional
Finding relief from the negative feelings and thought patterns that drove us to food.
Spiritual
Developing a connection with a Power greater than ourselves, however we define it.
Are you ready to find freedom?
There are no dues or fees for membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.
