IDEA – Celebrate Abstinence

On By adminIn special events

International Day
Experiencing Abstinence

Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 17-18

IDEA is our time to come together as a Fellowship to begin or reaffirm our abstinence.

Abstinence in Overeaters Anonymous is defined as the action of refraining from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors while working towards or maintaining a healthy body weight. Spiritual, emotional, and physical recovery is the result of living the Overeaters Anonymous Twelve-Step program.

Check out these OA world service links to help you obtain or maintain your abstinence. Share the list with newcomers and sponsees to help them understand and find abstinence 👣.
