A History of Overeaters Anonymous

How did Oereaters Anonymous begin? Why were our Steps rewritten? When was abstinence introduced? What was the carbohydrate controversy? Where did "I Put My Hand in Yours" originate? How did the OA Lifeline get its name? Discover the answers to these questions and other fascinating facts in the pages of OA's first history book. A cofounder, who has kept coming back since the very first 1960 OA meeting describes it all: what we were like, what happened, what we're like now, what we hope for our future. Beyond our Wildest Dreams is absorbing and inspirational, a reading treat for every member of Overeaters Anonymous and for all those who encourage and support compulsive overeaters in their quest for recovery. --- from book's back cover
