O-Anon


Does anyone know of an online chat site for Overeaters and/or for their friends and family? I'm also looking for any meetings for friends and family of overeaters in the Niagara Region  (Southren Ontario Canada). I'm having a hard time finding much online.

Thanks

Thank you i am also looking for OA-anon. Give me a message if you want Agatha.I am new to all this so not much help with things but it might help to know we arent alone.

I googled and found oa anon email list which i joined but no meetings.
http://www.therecoverygroup.org/special/oaanon.html

My relative is OE and he is killing himself as much with food as with any other substance and I need help cause i am not coping.

I feel guilty not worrying about him like somehow there must be something I can do. And also the grief of watching him do this, fear hes going to die. I dont get how this person I knew has changed so much. He was always strong and now this addiction has got him.

I cant find any O-Anons. I am trying to find 12 step group for families of addicts, and hope that they allow food in the definition of a drug. I dont see why not, people use it like a drug.
