541.0. "looking for OA meetings" by AIMHI::DONOVAN () Wed Dec 27 1989 16:33

    Does anyone know if there are OA meetings held on Digital facilities? 
    I am particularly interested in meetings held in Merricak.  I am having
    a hard time getting to meetings at night and need something during the
    noon time break.  Help!!

    I haven't heard of any.  You might contact Beverly who runs the
    serenity network.  She has a listing of people who are contacts for
    various 12 step programs at different sites throughout the company. 
    Her node is CSSE::Serenity.
    
    There may be other 12 step meetings held at your facility.  AA can
    actually be quite helpful for overeaters (I speak from experience here,
    not theory!).  If you can get to one or two evening OA meetings and
    connect with a sponsor who can help you get started with a food plan,
    AA or other 12 step meetings at your site would be very helpful in
    maintaining abstinence.
    
    You also may want to check out the Eating Disorders notesfile.  That is
    a closed file.  Contact ATSE::Block (also Beverly, but a different one
    than above) for membership.  There is lots of OA information there.

541.2I NEED A PHONE NUMBERUSCTR1::PFRANCOEURAIN'T MISBEHAVINThu May 31 1990 18:1610
    I live in the Fitchburg/Leominster area and I really need to do
    something quick.  I am looking pregnant and I am not.  Could someone
    help find the phone number of an OA group in my area.  I have looked
    in the local phone book to no avail.
    
    Thank you,
