About this meeting

Big Book & Relax takes place every Thursday at 7pm on Balham High Road in south London, within the Wandsworth part of the directory. As the name implies, this Overeaters Anonymous meeting centres on reading and discussing the OA Big Book, paired with a more relaxed, unhurried feel than a purely open-sharing format might have. It is open to anyone with a desire to stop eating compulsively, whether or not you have read the book before, since the group works through it together rather than expecting prior study. There is no cost to attend and no need to register ahead of your first visit.

Common questions

Do I need to have read the OA Big Book first?

No, the group reads and discusses it together, so no prior reading is expected before you attend.

Is this meeting in Wandsworth or Balham?

It is on Balham High Road, which the directory places within the wider Wandsworth area of south London.

Is there a fee to attend Big Book & Relax?

No, it is free, with no booking required, in line with every Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
