Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a twelve step programme for men and women who support each other in solving their common problem of compulsive eating including anorexia, bulimia, obesity and overeating. The primary purpose of OA is to carry the message that recovery is possible. OA members are not experts about obesity, weight loss or food addiction. “We simply want to share our experience, strength and hope with others who desire our help and support.”
