Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in OA

BIPOC OA was created to provide a safe space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color as we recover from the disease of compulsive over and under eating. Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a community of people who support each other in order to recover from compulsive eating and food behaviors. We welcome everyone who feels they have a problem with food.

You Are Not Alone…

  • We Understand

    We, too, have experienced hopelessness when we tried to control our problems with food or eating.

  • We Tried

    We have tried every diet and used many methods to control our body size, without success.

  • We Obsessed

    We could not enjoy life because of our obsession with food, weight, and/or size. We could not stop eating too much even when we really wanted to.

  • We Learned

    We have an illness, an unhealthy condition of body and mind that can be relieved on a daily basis.

  • We Released

    We find that we no longer want to return to the foods and eating behaviors that created uncontrollable cravings. We have been released from our mental obsession.

  • We Live

    We promise that if you work the Twelve Steps to the best of your ability, regularly attend meetings, and use OA’s Tools, your life will change. You will experience what we have: the miracle of recovery from compulsive eating.
