💫Overeaters Anonymous (OA) and Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA)
OA.org and EatingDisordersAnonymous.org
OA and EDA are 12-step programs for people with problems related to food including, but not limited to, compulsive overeating, bingeing, purging, and restricting. They are low-fee, community resource drop-in groups for recovery support. Because OA and EDA are peer-led support groups, they do not offer professional treatment or support that can be provided by a nutritionist, therapist, doctor, or psychiatrist. Any particular food plan followed in 12 step program is not endorsed by the author. Note:12-step programs have a spiritual approach to recovery. If you are looking for a secular support group, please see above listed resources or contact your local eating disorder treatment program(s), as many offer community groups or can refer you to a therapist-led, secular support group. (The Lotus collaborative, listed next, offers a free support group on Sundays in San Francisco).
EDRS, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote recovery and wellness for those impacted by eating disorders by providing support, information, and education to individuals, families, professionals, and the community at large regarding eating disorders and recovery resources.
