For Newcomers

We are so glad you are here.

Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive eating.  We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively.  

If you’re wondering whether OA is for you, we invite you to take this quiz to learn more. 

We have a number of meetings here in Central Virginia, and all are welcome, newcomers and oldtimers alike. 

We have in-person meetings as well as Zoom meetings hosted locally. 

• Overeaters Anonymous meetings in Central Virginia
• Men of OA
• Find a meeting anywhere, anytime, day or night via phone or Zoom.
• Meetings with a format specifically designed for newcomers

If you have concerns about your relationship with food, we hope that you’ll give yourself a chance for recovery in OA.  

Meetings are available in person, online and by phone.  

We recommend that newcomers attend at least six different meetings to help you decide if OA is for you.  

Below are some resources, but please don’t think you have to figure it all out at once; going to a meeting is a great first step.
