do alone.
Overeaters
Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience,strength and hope, are recovering from
compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees
for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations.
OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology or religious doctrine; we
take no position on outside issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry
the message of recovery to those who still suffer.

OA PIPO (Public Information Professional Outreach) Getting the word out in our community about OA’s program of recovery is critical for the OA Fellowship to continue, and there are many tools to attract favorable media attention and public awareness about OA.
Helping the still suffering compulsive eater is our primary purpose and we must get the word out to those people. Do you have a good idea about OA Public Information?
Did you have a successful PI event in your area?
Please consider being of service for PIPO.
