It has been and continues to be my virtual OA home base. It has given me meetings almost 24 hours in a day, topics and workshops that are crucial to my health and …

I would like to talk on behalf of Traditions One and Two. Beginning in April of 1946, in the  Grapevine, Bill Wilson began to expound on what he called “The Twelve Points to Assure our Future’’. These became known as the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, and eventually, our own adopted Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous. The First Tradition states “Our …

I accepted Step One then, and I honestly faced the truth about my disease. I had used bad eating habits to cover up feelings, comfort myself in times of stress, …

Before I found OA, food was my answer to everything and anything. If I had a problem, I would eat. Uncomfortable feelings meant more food. After spending time in OA, I came to believe and accept that food is an ineffective means of coping. Using food to cope is no longer an option for me. Now, I eat to live, …

The miracle of abstinence led to a new spiritual life, and OA saved me from the insanity of my disease. I was …
