WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS

“Always to extend the hand and heart of OA to all who share my compulsion; for this I am responsible.”

– OA Responsibility Pledge

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.
