If you think you may be a compulsive eater, give yourself a chance for recovery by trying the OA program. Compulsive eaters differ and our symptoms vary, but we share a common bond and all can find recovery in our program. We look forward to welcoming you!

Volunteer and Carry the Message!

On By 1namednatalieIn Uncategorized

OA Channel Islands is participating in three outreach events in September and October and is looking for volunteers to help spread the message of recovery. I can personally attest that volunteering at these events is a lot of fun, AND you get to meet with and talk to many people who are curious about, interested in, or want to pass the word along about O.A. to a friend or loved one. People stop by our booth to look at and take an attractive sticker (or two or three…). It’s a great way to attract (not promote) O.A.

If you are interested in filling a time slot, please contact Bridgette at the number listed on the flyer. I hope to see you there!

Overeaters Anonymous

On By ciigIn Outreach

The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.

Overeaters Anonymous is a Fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating. Our local intergroup touches Isla Vista, Goleta, Santa Barbara, Solvang, Ventura, Ojai, and Camarillo for overeaters, undereaters, anorexics, bulimics, exercise bulimics—we welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively.
