Intro for Newcomers:
Whatever your problem with food, OA welcomes you. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop compulsive behavior around food- overeating, restricting, throwing up or binging, whatever! OA charges no dues or fees. We support ourselves through voluntary contributions. Many of us have found hope and no longer abuse food!
The OA program is based on the 12 steps and 12 traditions as adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous. One day at at time we use the steps, traditions, meetings, and the 8 tools of recovery. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating and to carry the message to those of you who still suffer. Don't worry! You are not alone.
