Does anyone attend overeaters annon?

I have been debating for a year or so now and tryn to get up the courage to attend a mtg, truth is, i'm scared, i don't kow what to expect or anything.  Does anyone have any insight to these mtgs?

I think we can use all the postive supports available to us.  Go for the meeting Shawn.  Attend a few meetings to see if this is a good place for your support.  I was scared before my first wls group meeting as well.  Fear of the unknown keeps us locked in out own prisons.  Time to break out of a comfort zone and explore the world.

Let us know what you find out, I've seen others post that use OA for help.  Best of luck.

Hi Shawn!

I attend OA meetings and I love them.  I hadn't been to one since just before my surgery but went back yesterday and I was so happy to be there.  The surgery took place on my stomach, not my brain, and I still have to deal with my eating issues.

It can be scary not knowing what to expect, but think of it as having freinds that you just haven't met yet.  I assure you the people will be very nice and helpful.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing!

I attend OA but I use the phone meetings. You can get a schedule of the meetings and times on their website. I love it because I am able to talk and listen while doing my dishes and other chores when I put it on speaker phone. It has helped me tremendously. I wish you the best in your weight loss journey.
