Hi all!

I've been doing the steps for a few years now, and have discovered Overeaters Anonymous recently after several months of falling off the wagon, binge eating - back on step one though.

I've only been to one OA session and I am wondering if there is anyone here in this community that has attended OA or AA steps too? Is it possible to have both work?

I notice they use the term 'Abstinence' from foods that cause the binging ... and notice it has triggered me to restrict and shame myself when I fail. I know nothing is set in stone and can change ...

I am also noticing how in Australia - to my knowledge - there isn't any RR face to face support, and like the idea of OA weekly meetings as support.

I would really just love to hear from others' experiences!
