Accountability Buddy Workshop: Sunday, July 25

Register: https://forms.gle/xDokECMoMqWyfVvv8
Join the secular community on Sunday July 25 (9am PT / Noon ET / 5pm UK) to find out how you can build support for your recovery by having an Accountability Buddy. We’ll explain how it works, hear from current Accountability Buddies, practice 1:1 in breakout rooms, and finish with a Q&A and a handout. Prior registration is required; we’ll send the workshop Zoom link to you on Saturday, July 24.

Welcome!

You are not alone.  For atheists, agnostics, and others with different spiritual or religious beliefs beyond the mainstream,  “the god thing” in Overeaters Anonymous (OA)* can be hard to navigate. Theist solutions and patriarchal language in OA materials and at traditional meetings can create serious barriers to recovery.  

Members who have decades of success working a secular program are here to share their experience of recovery from compulsive food behaviors—independent of religious beliefs and never having to “act as if” they believe in things they don’t.

Recovery is about healing the human spirit. Your options may vary, but no gods or miracles are required.
