OA Forewords & Appendices
“It is a human tendency to read the “meat” of a book—sometime skipping over the information contained in the pages with roman numerals or ones that appear after “the end.” This document hopes to place a focus on the rich information contained in the Forewords and Appendices found in the third edition of Overeaters Anonymous.”
- Overeaters-Anonymous (3rd ed.) Forewords and Appendices PDF – The Role of a Plan of Eating in Recovery from Compulsive Eating, Disease of the Mind, Disease of the Body, Disease of the Spirit.
