We are looking for members to support individual meetings by signing up to be an Intergroup Rep, a contact person for the meeting list or a group secretary. At present there are a number of groups not represented at intergroup.
In the coming year we want to improve communication with each group. The intergroup will meet via zoom the 4th Saturday of each month at 11am. And, we will still have our June picnic at a local park to be determined in the coming months.
Welcome to Columbus Intergroup
We have all struggled with food. Endless efforts to control our eating. One diet or attempt after an other. We had control with food until the first compulsive bite returned us to our suffering and uncontrolled eating or food behaviors.
If this speaks to you, you have a home here. We are a Twelve Step program patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous. We use a plan of eating (not a diet) along with the spiritual program of the Twelve Steps and the Tools of Overeaters Anonymous, to identify our powerlessness over food and turn to a Power greater than ourselves to maintain our sanity. Freedom from addictive foods and food behaviors is call “abstinence” in our program. There are no due, no diets; OA does not endorse a plan of eating. This is a spiritual program, so members speak of the Higher Power, which is a. Power of their understanding. Many call it God but we are not a religious program. We are self-supporting by our own donations and do not endorse outside enterprises or issues. We welcome you to try our Twelve Step way of life. You will be amazed.
