Summary of Overeaters Anonymous's The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Overeaters Anonymous has a program of recovery that has helped thousands of compulsive overeaters stop eating compulsively. The program is based on the twelve steps, and it offers a solution that works.

#2 Compulsive overeating is a disease that cannot be controlled by willpower. It stems from an abnormal reaction to food, which is different from the reaction of a normal eater. We will always have these abnormal tendencies.

#3 We must abstain from all foods and eating behaviors that cause us problems. If we don’t ever overeat, we won’t be triggered to crave more. But this, too, has proven impossible for us to do by our willpower alone.

#4 We are all compulsive overeaters, and as long as we believe that we already know what is best for us, we will cling to our habitual ways of thinking and acting. But as long as we believe that we can handle life through self-will alone, we will continue to fail.
