Considering OA - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

purplesunshine · 10-09-2009, 05:19 AM

I'm considering trying out some OA meetings as I struggle with over-eating/bulimia, but I'm nervous. What happens at OA meetings? How are they run? Is it similar to NA?

OA is awesome! We have many bulimics there. I only do phone meetings though because the recovery in my area is not all that good. If you go to OA.org and click on phone meetings, you will see a PDF file. Open that and look for the 90 day meetings inside there. You can sit and listen (It is a conference call usually with a speaker-who they call a qualifier) They are awesome and they have sooo changed my life! I have a sponsor who I email my food to everyday! Welcome!

PS the 90 day meetings are the best because we weigh and measure our food and avoid trigger foods! come on over, join us! You will NOT be hungry and you will be FREE!!!!

Yes, OA meetings are just like NA and AA. It is 12 step based with sponsors and great support.
