What is OA?
Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women from all walks of life who meet in order to help solve a common problem – compulsive overeating. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively. OA is a non-profit international organization that provides volunteer support groups worldwide. Patterned after the Twelve-Step Alcoholics Anonymous program, the OA recovery program addresses physical, emotional and spiritual recovery aspects of compulsive overeating. Members are encouraged to seek professional help for individual diet/nutrition plans and for any emotional or physical problems.
What is the Philadelphia Area Intergroup (PAIG)?
PAIG is the Philadelphia Area Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous. An Intergroup is an organization made up of representatives from OA groups in this area (Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties). We are registered with the OA World Service Office.
