Common questions

Who can go to an OA meeting?

Anyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. Meetings marked “Open to all” welcome family, friends and professionals too.

Is OA a diet or weight-loss club?

No. OA is a Twelve Step fellowship — it is about recovery from compulsive eating and food behaviours, not diets, weigh-ins or fees.

How do I find an OA meeting near me?

Choose a town below or search by postcode on our meeting finder, and confirm details through the fellowship’s own finder before travelling.

What happens at an OA meeting?

Meetings usually run about an hour. Members share their own experience of compulsive eating and recovery, one at a time, without interruption or comment. There are no weigh-ins and no food rules handed out. Nobody has to speak, first names are enough, and listening is a perfectly good way to begin.

Going to your first meeting? Our free tools, worksheets and reading can help you prepare, at no cost. Browse the free resources → If a written guide would help, browse our recovery guides. And if cost is ever a barrier, get in touch — gifted copies are available through Pay It Forward.
Know a meeting we’re missing? Add it here and we will check it against the fellowship’s own listing before it goes live.

Stepwise Recovery is an independent publisher. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Al‑Anon Family Groups, SMART Recovery, or any twelve‑step fellowship or mutual‑aid programme.

Meeting listings can change; always confirm details through the fellowship’s own finder before travelling.
