    \n
  1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon OA unity.<\/li>\n
  2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority \u2013 a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.<\/li>\n
  3. The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.<\/li>\n
  4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or OA as a whole.<\/li>\n
  5. Each group has but one primary purpose \u2013 to carry its message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers.<\/li>\n
  6. An OA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the OA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.<\/li>\n
  7. Every OA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.<\/li>\n
  8. Overeaters Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.<\/li>\n
  9. OA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.<\/li>\n
  10. Overeaters Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the OA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.<\/li>\n
  11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films, television, and other public media of communication.<\/li>\n
  12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all these traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
