The first OA meeting was held in 1960 in Los Angeles, California. Since that time it has grown to about 6,500 meetings in over 75 countries with about 54,000 members.

Curious how Overeaters Anonymous (OA) can support your work to help your patients who are compulsive eaters? You’re in the right place. We work alongside many like you. OA complements your recommendations. OA offers an ongoing support system for members and encourages them to help one another–thereby weakening their isolation and loneliness. OA claims no medical, nutritional, or psychological expertise. We recommend members contact qualified professionals for help in these areas.

Take a minute to review Compulsive Overeating—An Inside View: The various manifestation of compulsive overeating for more about the behaviors our members have reported using to both conceal and cope with their compulsive eating.

But don’t take our word for it … View the OA Membership Survey which includes some stats to back up our claims.
