Glad you're feeling better! Overeaters Anonymous is a twelve step program. Check the white pages for a listing. If you can't find it there, look for a listing for Alcoholics Anonymous, or for Al Anon, which is the program for friends and families of alcoholics. They often have information on other twelve step programs. I can highly recommend them based on my own personal experience and that of friends and family. It not only has saved my life, it has improved my quality of life to a level of serenity and happiness I never dreamed possible before.
What they do is help people overcome the compulsive need to overeat or drink or gamble or whatever by working what's called the Twelve Steps in meetings that are kind of like support groups. There is no fee or cost and no requirements or rules. They have lots of helpful literature and information. The main message is you don't have to do it alone -- there are lots of people there who have successfully overcome the same problem and are willing to share their experience, strength and hope (much like this board!)
Let me know if you find a listing locally. They may also be on the internet -- just do a search. Bless you and thanks for your kind words.
