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.

I Put My
Hand In Yours
I put my hand in yours
and together we can do
what we could never do alone.
No longer is there a sense of hopelessness.
No longer must we each depend upon
our own unsteady willpower.
We are all together now,
reaching out our hands for power and strength
greater than ours.
And as we join hands,
We find love and understanding
Beyond our wildest dreams.

HELP
To my fellow OAers,
I would be Steve and I would be a compulsive overeater. I am the entertainment chairperson for the upcoming convention in Dallas (February 26-28,2010) and I need your help. We have some fun things planned, starting with another crowd pleasing play on Saturday night. We are also planning two fun bits that need your input.
First, we are doing OA top 12 lists. This is like Letterman's top 10 lists. Some topics include: "Top 12 things overheard at last years convention", "Top 12 way to get kicked out of OA", " Top 12 signs your OA meeting leader is insane", "Top 12 talents of the contestants in the miss OA contest", "Top 12 rejected OA dance themes".
Next, we are doing "You know you're a compulsive overeater if...." This is a takeoff of the Jeff Foxworthy "Redneck" series. Examples include, "If the ice cream parlor is "where everyone knows your name.....", "you are thinking of dinner and you haven't even eaten breakfast yet....."
I need your ideas. Be creative. Be funny, Be inventive. All ideas will be considered and I need plenty of them. They can be as clean or as "not so clean" as your imagination can work.
Email me at stephenglaser@msn.com with your ideas. Help me spread the word about this fun opportunity to show everyone how creative we can be. I thank you all very much for your help and time. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in February.
Steve G.
