Overeaters Anonymous, Inc

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 to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.

MISSION STATEMENT: The specific and primary purpose of Overeaters Anonymous is to aid those with the problem of compulsive overeating to overcome that problem through a Twelve-step program of recovery, to promote public health, and to work with and furnish charitable and cultural assistance to those with problems of obesity.
