OA Westchester NY ( WUIG ) Celebrates:
Unity Day Marathon: Mindful Abstinence
When: Saturday, February 25, 2012 2:15pm – 5:00pm
Where: The Scarsdale Quaker Meeting House 133 Popham Road Scarsdale, NY
Unity Day affirms the unity of OA worldwide. In this mara-thon we will discuss the con-cept of OA Abstinence and how it differs from a Plan of Eating. Text from the Abstinence Book and the Big Book will be read and discussed.
We will end with a meditation and discussion of how the 11th Step helps us remain Abstinent.

What is Westchester United Intergroup (WUIG)?
When several OA groups formed in our area, we soon realized that we can better perform certain together rather than separately. So the groups formed an intergroup that is directly responsible to the groups it serves. The Westchester United Intergroup arose from a need to provide service for a number of local groups and better information about OA in our community.
What is Overeaters Anonymous of Westchester and Putnam Counties of New York?
Overeaters Anonymous of Westchester and Putnam Counties of New York offers a program of recovery from compulsive eating using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of OA. County wide meetings and other tools provide a fellowship of experience, strength and hope where members respect one another’s anonymity. OA charges no dues or fees; it is self-supporting through member contributions.

Welcome to Overeaters Anonymous of Westchester and Putnam counties of New York. This series of questions may help you determine if you are a compulsive eater.
- Do you eat when you’re not hungry?
- Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason?
- Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating?
- Do you give too much time and thought to food?
- Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone?
- Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
- Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?
- Is your weight affecting the way you live your life?
- Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal?
- Do you resent others telling you to “use a little willpower” to stop overeating?
- Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can diet “on your own” whenever you wish?
- Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than mealtime?
- Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?
- Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
- Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy?
Have you answered yes to three or more of these questions? If so, it is probable that you have or are well on your way to having a compulsive eating problem. We have found that the way to arrest this progressive disease is to practice the Twelve-Step recovery program of Overeaters Anonymous in Westchester and Putnam counties in New York.
Overeaters Anonymous (www.oahelps.org) is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer.
