Share Your Story

All of us need encouragement and inspiration from time to time. When we’re battling issues surrounding compulsive eating it can be hard to go it alone. You can help.

By sharing your story of recovery in OA, you can show another sufferer that recovery is possible. Your experience, strength and hope can provide the bridge that others of us can cross on our own journey of recovery. It’s great service that helps others and yourself as together we “trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.”

A Formula for Sharing

If you’re at a loss of where to begin, consider following this simple formula to tell your story:

  • What it was like.
  • What happened.
  • What it’s like now.

Requirements for Sharing

We want your story of recovery from the disease of compulsive eating in Overeaters Anonymous. You must be an active member of OA, preferably in the Milwaukee area but we’ll accept submissions from anywhere. Your story should reflect and honor the 12 Steps and Traditions of our program. In particular keep in mind Tradition 6,

An OA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the OA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

And Tradition 12,

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all these Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
