Implementation Process (including length of time for planning and implementation):<br />
The Intergroup’s Public Information Director sent a letter to “Dear Abby” saying that she was alive because in<br />
one of the “Dear Abby” columns in which the contact information for <strong>Overeaters</strong> <strong>Anonymous</strong> had been<br />
provided. That information, given in the column, planted a seed in her and when she did attend her first<br />
meeting about two years later, it changed her life. When she wrote this letter, she had been in recovery from<br />
compulsive overeating for 32 years. “Dear Abby” used her letter by sharing it with a lady who was also<br />
struggling with food and hoping to get help. There was no cost but thanks and gratitude from OA member.<br />

for countless people who read the letter and are suffering from the disease of Compulsive Overeating.
