DESCRIPTION: \r\nWelcome to a community of people, who through shared exp
 erience, strength, and hope are recovering from unhealthy relationships wi
 th food and body image.\r\nWhat is OA?\r\nOvereaters Anonymous is a Fellow
 ship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength, and hope, ar
 e recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to 
 stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for members; we are se
 lf- supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accep
 ting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private or
 ganization, political movement, ideology, or religious doctrine; we take n
 o position on outside issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compu
 lsive eating and compulsive food behaviors and to carry the message of rec
 overy through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.\r\nDo I be
 long in OA?\r\nSymptoms may vary, but we share a common bond: we are power
 less over food, and our lives have become unmanageable. This common proble
 m has led those in OA to seek and find a common solution in the Twelve Ste
 ps with the assistance of the Twelve Traditions of OA and our nine Tools
 .\r\nHow does OA work?\r\nWe in OA believe we have a threefold illness—p
 hysical, emotional, and spiritual. Tens of thousands have found that OA’
 s Twelve Step program brings recovery on all three levels. The Twelve Step
 s embody a set of actions we take. These Steps put us in touch with a High
 er Power who restores us to sanity. As we work the Steps, we let go of old
  attitudes, and we find we are being relieved of our obsession with our ea
 ting disorder. Those of us who choose to work the Steps, one day at a time
 , achieve a new way of life with lasting freedom from our food obsession. 
 A sponsor can help us understand how to apply the Principles of the Steps.
  Sponsors are members who also work the program.\r\n*Meeting room may chan
 ge within the library- see weekly calendar.
