- How does one qualify for membership in OA?
- The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.
- How much does it cost?
- There are no dues for OA. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions.
- What is OA's purpose?
- Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating by attempting to deal with the feelings that lie behind our compulsion, even the everyday occasions that trigger us to seek excess food. We believe that compulsive overeating is a progressive illness that, like alcoholism, can be arrested.
- Is OA a religious program?
- OA is not a religious society and requires no definite religious belief as a condition of membership, OA has among its membership people of many religious faiths as well as atheists and agnostics. The OA recovery program is based on acceptance of certain spiritual values. Members are free to interpret these values as they think best, or not to think about them at all if they so choose.
- Will OA help me with a diet?
- OA recognizes that plans of eating can and will differ for each individual. Members are encouraged to seek professional help for individual medical/nutritional needs.
