About this meeting
The Octagon in Gloucester holds an Overeaters Anonymous meeting each Monday at 7.30pm on Farmhill Lane. Like every OA meeting, it exists for people with a desire to stop eating compulsively, and it works on a self-supporting basis, with members sharing their own recovery rather than any professional guidance being offered from the front. There is no weigh-in, no meal plan handed out and no requirement to have a particular history with food before attending; the only thing needed is a wish to do something different. Newcomers can simply arrive shortly before 7.30pm and settle in without any formal introduction.
Common questions
Do I need to have a diagnosed eating disorder to attend?
No, Overeaters Anonymous is for anyone with a desire to stop eating compulsively, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis.
Will I be weighed or given a meal plan?
No, OA does not weigh members or prescribe diets; it is a fellowship based on shared experience rather than professional treatment.
Is booking needed to attend The Octagon meeting?
No, there is no booking or fee; you can simply come along on the night.
