As members of the Hospitals, Institutions, Professionals, and Military Committee of Overeaters Anonymous, we consider ourselves beneficiaries of this program. 

Our organization, Overeaters Anonymous, is a fellowship of individuals who support one another in solving their common problem, compulsive eating, and is patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous.  To most of us, food is not just a nutrient, but also a comforter, a weapon, an enemy, or an escape. 

We are not professionals.  We in OA believe we have a threefold illness - physical, emotional, and spiritual.  There are no requirements for membership, no dues or fees and no weigh-ins.  We are not affiliated with any other organizations, nor are we in competition with any professional services or weight loss programs.  We simply want to work in cooperation with you, and share our recovery experience with others who desire to stop eating compulsively. 

As a health care professional, clergy or employee assistance officer, you have probably dealt with clients who are compulsive eaters.  We would like to familiarize you with our program and our meetings in the Northern Virginia area. Anyone interested in learning more about OA is welcome at our meetings.  If you wish to be added to our database to receive updated meeting lists or event notices, or wish other information, including contacts for phone or in-person discussions of our program, please call the OA Info line: 703-823-6682, or fill the form below.
