Overeaters Anonymous

Overeaters Anonymous and its World Service Office (WSO) support individual members and more than 6,500 OA groups in over 75 countries to carry OA's message of recovery to compulsive overeaters who are still suffering.

Located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico USA, the WSO provides this support in a variety of ways. We produce over 100 literature and recovery-related items, taking member ideas and turning them into polished products that can be ordered from our catalog. We publish Lifeline, a monthly recovery magazine, made up of stories written by and for OA members. We produce and distribute A Step Ahead, a quarterly newsletter that keeps members up-to-date on OA news. We also provide the Courier, an annual newsletter for hospitals, institutions, professionals and the military.

The WSO maintains current directories on meetings worldwide. If you are a newcomer and you don't feel at home at your first meeting, go online or call us to find another meeting that works better for you. Don't quit before the miracle happens. You can also participate in the Service by Mail program to share recovery by mail or email with members outside your area.

The WSO provides everything new groups need to get started in the New Group Starter Kit, as well as guidelines for How to Start a New Group*. We also give information about OA to media representatives, health professionals and others interested in OA's Twelve-Step approach to recovery from compulsive overeating.

The WSO maintains OA's copyright information. See the Copyright Requests page to get the information you need to legally reprint OA copyrighted material in your group or service body newsletter or in materials for your recovery events.

Working with the Board of Trustees (BOT), the WSO plans and executes the annual World Service Business Conference (WSBC) and the triennial World Service Convention, a joyful gathering of members from around the world who celebrate hope and recovery in OA.

Although OA members pay no dues or fees, contributions and literature purchases fund the WSO. In keeping with OA's Seventh Tradition, Overeaters Anonymous is member-supported. If you are a member, when the contributions basket is passed in meetings, keep in mind that you are supporting your own recovery by helping to maintain your group, intergroup or national/language service board, region and World Service Office.

At the WSO, "service" is our middle name, and we belong to you. Welcome to OA. Welcome home!
