Meetings are where two or more compulsive overeaters come together to share their personal experience, and the strength and hope OA has given them. Though there are many types of meetings, it is the fellowship with other compulsive overeaters that is the basis of them all. Meetings provide the opportunity to identify and confirm whether or not you are one of us. Meetings are where all individuals share their common problem and share the gifts they receive through this program.
