Dynamics and Demographics
I attended an OA support group at the Anuvia Prevention Center located on 100 Billingsley Road in the Horizon Room. I obtained permission from the leader of the OA group to attend four group sessions. This purpose of OA support group is a program of individuals who, through shared experience, strength, and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating by working Twelve Steps. Many of the OA members mentioned that they have tried to lose weight through many methods, only failed repeatedly due to their inability to control their eating habits. The members report that the best decision they’ve ever made was to allocate a meeting. At the OA meetings I found others who have the same concerns and who shared their feelings. Purpose
The Overeaters Anonymous Support Group purpose is to carry on the message of recovery from compulsive eating to those who still suffer. Some of the OA members are sponsors that have completed the OA program and continue to maintain their compulsive eating habits and their purpose is to continue inspiring the other members whom continue to struggle with eating compulsively. As a new member of the OA support group, I introduced myself to the other member and explained that I am a graduate student at Liberty University Human Services and Counseling program. The members of the OA support group were receptive and welcomed me as a newcomer. Group Dynamics
