WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS

Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women from all walks of life who meet in order to help solve a common problem - compulsive overeating.  There are no dues or fees, the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.  We find recovery from compulsive overeating by working the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of OA and using the OA Tools of Recovery.

OA is a non-profit international organization patterned after the Twelve-Step Alcoholics Anonymous program.  The OA recovery program addresses physical, emotional and spiritual recovery aspects of compulsive overeating.  Members are encouraged to seek professional help for individual diet/nutrition plans and for any emotional or physical problems.

Are you a compulsive overeater?  Is your weight affecting your life?  Is your eating out of control?  Do you eat to escape?  If you answer yes to one or more of the 15 questions, then you may be a compulsive eater.


What is Overeaters Anonymous

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.


Please announce at your meetings:
We are looking for articles to include in the revised To The Teen pamphlet (young people).  Note deadline is July 30, 2009.

Lifeline Survey Link:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Tyhxh6bgjkAgAFg7bMR_2bEg_3d_3d

As you may be aware, Lifeline subscriptions continue to decrease, and the cost to produce and mail Lifeline is creating a deficit of about $60k per year. In the past, OA’s other revenues were able to sustain the cost of Lifeline, but with production costs continuing to rise and circulation continuing to fall, the board has appointed a subcommittee to research various options. The committee would like your input as to what you think might be the best solution. Please click on the link below to participate in a quick survey by June 30th. Thank you so much for your feedback.
