Welcome to Overeaters Anonymous. Welcome home! I put my hand in yours, and together we can do what we could never do alone. The fellowship encourages and promotes acceptance and inclusivity. Always to extend the hand and heart of OA to all who share my compulsion; for this I am responsible. You are not alone anymore.

Highlights from the World Service Business Conference:

The Plain Language Big Book by Alcoholics Anonymous was added to the OA-approved Literature List.

The wording of the OA Preamble was changed and now says “compulsive eating” instead of “compulsive overeating.”

A new Serenity Statement was adopted as a suggested option for OA meetings and events: “I seek the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

The new manuscript “Healing the Mind, Body, and Spirit: Mental Health and Recovery in Overeaters Anonymous” and a revised Unity with Diversity Checklist received the Conference Seal of Approval.

 Brandywine Intergroup Business meetings are held on the second Thursday of  the month from 7 – 8 pm. The zoom link is available on the Intergroup Reps Tab. 

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom. Remember, guests are always welcome!!

OA Preamble

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.
