Special Focus Meetings

People identifying as anorexics and bulimics, or those just wondering, have a home in OA. By following the Twelve Steps we have come to a deep level of freedom from our deadly obsessions with body weight, shape, and food obsessions that once dominated our minds and dictated the course of our lives. We learn that our eating disorders are a form of addiction, that the key to recovery is to find sobriety in our eating and exercise patterns, and that none of us can do that alone.

Although men make up roughly half the population, they represent a much smaller percentage of members in Overeaters Anonymous. Many men struggle silently with food issues, feeling isolated or unsure if OA is the right fit. This site is here to help bridge that gap — offering resources, shared experiences, and tools specifically geared toward men in recovery. Whether you’re just exploring OA or have been attending meetings for a while, you’ll find support from others who understand what it’s like to walk this path as a man.
