About The Nassau County Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous

Who are the members and service board members of The Nassau County Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous?
Intergroup and Intergroup Board Members are comprised of ordinary OA members with no official qualifications or experience and at varying stages of overall recovery. We simply understand that doing service above the group level is a valuable way to further strengthen our own personal recovery. Together, in fellowship, we strive toward our primary purpose of carrying the message of recovery to all those still sick and suffering compulsive overeaters.

2. Increase the number of newcomers - putting up flyers around town, placemats in diners, ads in local papers.
3. Help those in relapse - new meetings with focus on recovery from relapse, workshops on recovery from relapse.
4. Inspire people to give more service - pitch about rewards of giving service.

Ongoing
