History beat you to the show on that one. There has been a group called Overeaters Annonymous or OA for at least 35 years. It is rooted in AA. And there are similar addiction groups that use the same plan. I do not know them all. But there’s Gambler’s Annonymous, Sex (addicts) Annonymous, and groups for those dealing with narcotics and drugs. As with AA, results are great for some people and not so good for others,

Strange that OA is not that well known. People should be made aware of this. Good to know there is such an organization.

OA has been in existence for over 45-yrs (at least in the Puget Sound area … my sister use to attend). Good program, but for some it works, some not so much. Overeating is a very difficult addiction. Part of the reason is that you have to eat to live. Not so for other addictions. I know!

Well good luck to him. These type of issues are not easily solved. Only a small percentage stay sober. But it is worth the attempt.

According to Matt Rogers, he is an alcoholic, fell off the wagon last October, went through the loss of his job, a divorce, and recently ended up in the ICU after a drinking binge on his birthday. He has no remembrance of how the accident happened. He vows to stop. That video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5WonFpPf6U

I just now read the paragraph about Matt Rogers recent life. I loved him on Good Day several years ago. We are fellow Cashmere WA people and we support each other always. Matt, every day is a blessing, ups and downs, good and bad. Blessings.

Matt lost his job and his wife is divorcing him…and it’s the Holiday season. Not unusual for broadcasters, unfortunately. Find Matt Rogers on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eljer55_UJk

I felt the same, like a good brother/sister rivalry. Not the same now. Together they made a great team. I don’t know the details. But it seems like a mistake to me.

I was so excited to find Matt and Kjerstin on TV after moving to Walla Walla from the west side. They were very refreshing,had great chemistry and weren’t uptight like all the Seattle stations. Need to find a new local station I guess.
