Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is the "sister" group to AA for those who suffer food addiction. The 12 steps they use can be found here: http://www.oa.org/new-to-oa/twelve-steps.php

You will note they are almost word-for-word to the 12 steps of AA, except "alcohol" is replaced by "food" and "alcoholic" is replaced by "compulsive overeater."

OA also helps those with other food-cased problems. Besides overeating, they accept members with anorexia, bulemia or other food compulsions.
