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.
Two short, fun podcasts that answer OA Newcomer questions! Created by the R1 2021 - 2022 Nurturing Newcomers Team.
Am I a Compulsive Eater?
OA includes members who have experienced different manifestations of compulsive eating and food behaviors. Our fellowship includes anorexics, bulimics, and overeaters; ALL who struggle with food obsession are welcome and have found recovery in OA. Weight is not a criterion for membership. Take our quiz to see if you might be a compulsive eater. |

What to Expect and How to Start
If you have concerns about your relationship with food, we hope that you'll give yourself a chance for recovery in OA. Meetings are available in person, online and by phone. We recommend that newcomers attend at least six different meetings to help you decide if OA is for you. Below are some resources, but please don't think you have to figure it all out at once; going to a meeting is a great first step.
