Effective May 18 and May 21, the Tuesday 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. meetings have a new location in the ODAAT building:
2109 Parker Rd., Ste. 728, Plano, TX [map]
Going north on Custer past Parker, turn left (west) into the parking lot by the Music Lab and Lone Star Bar-B-Q. Drive around the north end of the bar-b-q restaurant, then west down the alley.
The ODAAT building has a river rock wall, and Ste. 728 is at the east end and has an Al-Anon symbol on the door. Enter thru the kitchen and go past 2 large rooms and look for the sign to the smaller room for OA.
Call Carol B for more info: 214-228-2830.
Stories from your fellows, updates on upcoming events, and a meeting list. Recovery on the job, the battles with the scale and more.
And don’t forget – these stories come from you, our program fellows. Take a minute to send along something insightful or humorous you heard in a meeting. A moment of gratitude you felt. Or just something that you fight with in program – let others know they aren’t alone. Send things along to our editor, Mary H at newsletter@oadallas.org. She’s happy to help edit and even happier to have contributions so help her out.

DMI Business Meeting at 6:00
All fellows are welcome and meeting representatives are especially encouraged to attend.

The delegates at the 2013 World Service Business Conference approved a change of wording for the OA Preamble. When reading the Preamble in OA literature, please note the following change to the last sentence. This change will be incorporated as literature is reprinted.
Overeaters Anonymous 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 the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.
