Sites offer Overeaters Anonymous to address body, spirit in overcoming food behaviors

“Do not follow your base desires, but restrain your appetites” (Sir 18:30).

“…live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly” (Ti 2:12).

For some, “restraining your appetite” and living with self-control in regard to food seem unattainable dreams. Yet the Catholic Church teaches that the body is intricately united with the spirit: “The unity of soul and body is so profound that one has to consider the soul to be the ‘form’ of the body” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #365).

Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a 12-step program that offers physical, emotional and spiritual recovery for those who struggle with compulsive food behaviors, including compulsive overeating, under-eating, food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and over-exercising. It centers on a 12-step program patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous.

Through practicing the 12 practical steps, members also grow in the spiritual principals of honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, self-discipline (temperance), love, perseverance, spiritual awareness and service.

While OA is not affiliated with any religion, many of the meetings are held at churches, including two Catholic locations within the archdiocese:
 

  • St. Mark the Evangelist Church, Parish Center conference room, 535 E. Edgewood Ave., in Indianapolis, Fridays at noon (contact Noreen at 317-783-4155 for more information), and
  • Mount St. Francis Center for Spirituality, 3rd Floor Clare Room, 101 St. Anthony Dr., in Mount St. Francis, Mondays at 7 p.m. (contact Dennis at 812-903-4234 for more information).

Other cities in central and southern Indiana that offer OA meetings include Batesville, Bloomington, Columbus, Greenwood, numerous sites in Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, Lawrenceburg, New Albany, Richmond and Terre Haute.

For information on the OA program and locations, go to www.oa.org.
