Welcome to OA Dallas

  • 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 eating and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer.

  • Wondering if OA is for you? Many members of OA have answered YES to these 15 questions.

  • In Overeaters Anonymous we use the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions as well as the Tools of Recovery to help us with our personal recovery. Additionally, to help motivate us, we share our favorite sayings.

  • Dallas Metroplex Intergroup (DMI) is a service body of Overeaters Anonymous. DMI carries the message of OA to the greater Dallas area* by maintaining and distributing meeting lists, serving as community outreach, acting as liaison with other OA service bodies, and providing guidance to local groups when requested.

* The Dallas Metroplex Intergroup serves the Dallas area including Bonham, Dallas, Denton, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Greenville, Lewisville, McKinney, Mesquite, Plano, Prosper, Richardson, Sherman and Wylie.

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the Houston Metro Intergroup and the Tri-County Intergroup for permission to use portions of their own unique presentation of the material on our site.
