Transform Your Relationship with Food and Your Body: A Spiritual 12-Step Approach. ​Many of us have spent years struggling with food—whether it's overeating, undereating, or compulsive exercising—as a way to cope with feelings of unmanageability and inner emptiness. We believed that one day, we’d find peace, that the right diet or the perfect exercise routine would finally bring us the happiness we were searching for. But the more we tried, the more stuck we became. The obsession only grew stronger, no matter how hard we tried to control it.

Some of us got clean and sober from drugs or alcohol, only to discover that our eating behaviors became the new focus of our compulsion. For many, the “merry-go-round” never stopped. We desperately wanted to break free but couldn’t find a way out.

The truth is, no matter how much we tried to fill that void with food or exercise, it was never enough. We kept searching for external solutions, unaware that what we needed was a deep, spiritual transformation—one that would heal not just our eating behaviors, but our entire relationship with ourselves.
That’s where we come in. This workshop is designed for anyone struggling with compulsive eating behaviors—whether you’re over-restricting, overeating, or caught in a cycle of obsessive dieting and exercise. It’s for people who feel disconnected from their authentic selves, who know they’re capable of more, but don’t know how to break free from the patterns holding them back. If traditional therapy hasn’t worked for you, this workshop offers a fresh, peer-based approach grounded in the principles of the 12 Steps, and a non-dogmatic, spiritual path toward healing.

Through the study of the Big Book and the application of spiritual principles, we will explore the root causes of compulsive eating and body obsession. We will work together to awaken to a new way of living—one that leads to freedom from the physical, mental, and emotional cycles that have controlled us for so long.

​The result is not just abstinence from unhealthy eating behaviors, but a holistic, lasting transformation that touches every part of our lives.

Is This Workshop Right for You?

Do you feel like your eating or exercise habits are controlling your life, even if you're sober from drugs or alcohol?
  • Have you tried to solve your eating issues with diets, exercise, or therapy, but nothing seems to stick?
  • Do you feel disconnected from your true self, like you're not living authentically, but aren't sure how to change it?

Cross Addiction Is Common

Cross Addiction and Compulsive Eating
It's common for people to experience "cross addiction"—a phenomenon where a person who has struggled with one form of addiction, such as alcohol or drugs, becomes obsessed with another, such as food or exercise. Compulsive overeating, undereating, or excessive exercise are not merely "bad habits" but are deeply rooted in physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalance, similar to any other addiction.
If you’ve been sober from substances but still find yourself consumed by thoughts of food, eating, or body image, it’s time to explore the deeper causes of this obsession. We are here to help you heal from the inside out, so you can experience freedom from food and body obsession without needing another addiction to replace the old one.

Did you know?

Overeaters Anonymous is a 12-step recovery program that uses the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous to help members recover from eating addictions. In OA, you’ll find men and women who are morbidly obese, moderately overweight, and average weight. You'll also find members who are quite slender, athletic, and even underweight. Some are still maintaining periodic control over their eating behavior or slowly losing more and more control each day. Others have hit bottom and are totally unable to control their compulsive eating or compulsive exercising. OA members experience many different patterns of food behaviors. These “symptoms” are as varied as the membership. All are welcome!
