Well, Eddie, first off congrats on starting on this journey into recovery. I have known many who work both programs....what I mean is that they do go to both meetings and have sponsors in both......mostly because although it is alike in that you are dealing with addiction.......dealing with food issues if different than dealing with drug issues. Both programs use the Twelve Steps and Traditions. OA is a good program for getting at the why's of using food.....rather than just the idea not to use food as a drug. Does that make sense?

Anyway, glad to have hear.....You have our support 100%
