Many of the following resources are also available at OA.org’s meetings page. They can help meetings grow, thrive, and deal with issues that commonly crop up in groups around the world. Most important, they can help meetings achieve OA’s primary purpose: To carry the message of recovery from compulsive overeating through the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous to those who still suffer.

Our members report that when they leave our rooms, what brings them back are the phone calls, emails, and texts that remind them that we miss them, that we care, and that there is a solution. 12th Step Within resources give meetings, or individuals, ways to organize outreach to members who are suffering outside the halls of OA.
