Welcome Home!

Welcome to the Los Angeles Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous’ website for young people. This website is intended to provide resources and information to young people in our fellowship and those who are concerned about their eating behaviors. The website also offers helpful information for loved ones of young compulsive overeaters or anyone else seeking information about young people in OA.

According to OA’s 3rd Tradition, “the only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.” Compulsive eating comes in many forms – anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, etc. Compulsive eaters of any variety and at any age are welcome in OA. The term “young people” means different things to different groups – from young children to young adults – so we have included materials for a range of age groups on this website.

Whatever your problem with food, OA can help. Since 1960, thousands of compulsive eaters of every age have found a solution to their compulsive eating through the OA 12–step recovery program.

On this website, you will find a list of local “young people friendly” meetings, links to literature specifically for young people, information on OA events and service opportunities, and more!
