How to Find an OA Meeting

Overeaters Anonymous helps those who suffer from compulsive eating find the help they need to restore and maintain a healthy relationship with food. They do not just address issues regarding diet or weight loss and instead seek to find the underlying reason why individuals compulsively eat and use the 12-step program to help them reduce their desires to overeat. Overeaters Anonymous meetings are located all over the United States and can be found easily by following a few steps.
