The Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous
“Our way of life, based on these Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, has brought us physical, emotional and spiritual healing that we don’t hesitate to call miraculous. What works for us will work for you too.”

The Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous
A {spiritual principle} is associated with each of the following Twelve Steps. Click on each step to hear its related podcast.
Step One: {Honesty} We admitted we were powerless over food—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step Two {Hope} Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step Three {Faith} Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Step Four {Courage} Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Step Five {Integrity} Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step Six {Willingness} Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step Seven {Humility} Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Step Eight {Self-discipline} Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step Nine {Love} Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step Ten {Perseverance} Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Step Eleven {Spiritual Awareness} 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.
Step Twelve {Service} 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.
