The purpose of this tool is to connect members of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) online. Please understand that this website allows individuals seeking help in their recovery to connect with a member of OA (online) via email or text, but how the OA-sponsor and sponsee communicate going forward needs to be worked out between the two of you, just as in any other recovery/sponsorship relationship. For example, people ask for an online OA-Sponsor, but they are looking for people who will communicate ONLY via email or text (i.e., online). Some OA-Sponsors will not do this; they actually want to talk with you.
