Have you answered yes to three or more of these
questions? If so, it is probable that you have
or are well on your way to having a compulsive
overeating problem. We have found that the way
to arrest this progressive disease is to
practice the Twelve-Step recovery program of
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. Our primary purpose is to
abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry
this message of recovery to those who still
suffer.
Is OA for You?
Only you can decide that question. No one
else can make this decision for you. We who are
now in OA have found a way of life which enables
us to live without the need for excess food. We
believe that compulsive overeating is a
progressive illness, one that, like alcoholism
and some other illnesses, can be arrested.
Remember, there is no shame in admitting you
have a problem; the most important thing is to
do something about it. |
