Our Founder

Rozanne S. was called the cofounder
of Overeaters Anonymous from 1960,
although she was the only one
for most of the years before her death
fifty-four years later. She was certainly a leader,
guiding the organization, writing literature.
heading the fellowship. But she was truly
a compulsive overeater, ready to serve
whether she worked a good program or not.
She had the courage to surrender again,
to reclaim recovery. She showed us
how to serve and how to live through
our missteps.
