About this meeting
The Benview House Thursday Group is an Overeaters Anonymous meeting in Dumbarton, meeting weekly at Benview House on Strathleven Place, just off the town centre in West Dunbartonshire. Doors are open to all on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm. This is an open meeting, so alongside people who want to stop eating compulsively, you're welcome to come along whether you're a family member, friend or simply curious about how OA works. The format varies from week to week, which keeps things fresh across topics, shares and readings. Meetings are held in English and are part of the Alba Intergroup. If you're new to OA, there's no need to say much on your first visit; you can sit, listen and see whether the fellowship suits you.
