Overeaters Anonymous is a Fellowship of
individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope,
are recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone
who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees
for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions,
neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not
affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement,
ideology or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside
issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating
and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer. (From: The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters

The OA Promise
I put my hand in yours
and together we can do
what we could never do alone.
No longer is there a sense of hopelessness.
No longer must we each depend upon
our own unsteady willpower.
We are all together now,
reaching out our hands for power and strength
greater than ours.
And as we join hands,
We find love and understanding
Beyond our wildest dreams.
