Overeaters Anonymous

On By ciigIn Outreach

The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.

Overeaters Anonymous is a Fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating. Our local intergroup touches Isla Vista, Goleta, Santa Barbara, Solvang, Ventura, Ojai, and Camarillo for overeaters, undereaters, anorexics, bulimics, exercise bulimics—we welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively.
