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 compulsive food behaviors and to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.

If you think you might be a compulsive overeater, take our quiz.

You do not need to register to attend an OA meeting — you’re welcome to join a meeting whenever you’re ready.

Overeaters Anonymous offers more than 6,500 meetings in over 80 countries, in a variety of formats. You can choose from:

  • In-person meetings
  • Phone meetings
  • Online meetings (video or audio)
