OA READINGS

Here are some PDF copies of common readings – these can be downloaded to your phone or computer.

e-Literature

Most OA literature is available in electronic format, and the prices are often less than you would pay for hard copies.  Here are some suggested readings/materials and how to get them:

OA 12/12OA 12/12 Workbook
For TodayVoices of Recovery
AA Big BookAA 12/12
AbstinenceOvereater’s Anonymous, 3rd Ed
Beyond Our Wildest DreamsLifeline Sampler

For iOS devices* (iPhone / iPad), go to the iBooks app and search “Overeaters Anonymous” – all these titles will show in the results set and have an option to buy.

*For iOS devices, you must first download and/or install the iBooks App – go to the iOS app store or access this link FROM YOUR iPhone or iPad:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-books/id364709193

Unfortunately, I am not an Android user, so I am not AS confident when advising about those devices.  But I would assume that for Google / Android devices, you can go to the Google Play store and follow the same procedures.

OA BOOKSTORE

If you prefer hard copies, OA Literature can also be purchased for delivery from the OA Website at OA Bookstore – https://bookstore.oa.org/.  The bookstore often has PDF download options as well.

Once you have accessed the bookstore link, there should be a search box in the upper right-hand corner, and you can search for titles.  Common books are listed above in e-Literature, and here is a list of common / popular OA pamphlets:

SEVENTH TRADITION

“According to our Seventh Tradition, we are fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” You can still support the work and mission of OA by contributing at https://oa.org/contribute/

WE CARE OPTIONS

At most face-to-face meetings, there is a “We Care” book passed around, in which meeting attendees can share information such as names, telephone numbers, email addresses, and “thoughts for the day.”  In the absence of this option, many virtual and phone meeting attendees have just been asking members if they would be comfortable sharing their information within the call or video conference.
