The Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous
- We admitted we
were powerless over food — that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe
that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to
turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.
- Made a searching
and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted to God,
to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely
ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him
to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all
persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends
to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them
or others.
- Continued to take
personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Sought through
prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God
as we understood Him, praying only
for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a
spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this
message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principles in all
our affairs.

I put my hand in yours and
together we can do what we could never do alone.
No longer is there a sense of
hopelessness; no longer must we each depend upon our own unsteady willpower.
We are all together now,
reaching out our hands for a power and strength greater than ours and, as we
join hands, we find love and understanding beyond our wildest dreams.
