Meeting Requirements

 

Requirements for Meetings who wish to be registered with Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA)

 

Please take time to review the points below which define an FA Meeting.  Only those meetings that comply with this definition may be registered with the FA World Service Office.

 

1.         As a group, the members meet to practice the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of FA.

2.         All who have a desire to stop abusing themselves with food are welcome.

3.         To start a new meeting, the FA World Service Board strongly suggests there be at least 2 members with 6 or more months of continuous FA abstinence.

4.         The meeting format contains the following readings:

 

·         The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of FA.

·         Only FA members with 90 days or more of continuous FA abstinence (as defined below) are eligible to speak at FA meetings.

·         The Definition of Abstinence:

 

Weighed and measured meals with nothing in between. No flour, no sugar, and avoidance of all individual binge foods.

 

·         The Definition of a Food Addict:

Food addiction is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit for which there is no cure, but which can be arrested a day at a time by adapting to a disciplined way of eating and the 12 Step program of Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous.  When we abuse food by using it as a drug, our lives become unmanageable.  Food addicts have an allergy to flour, sugar, and quantities, that sets up an uncontrollable craving.  The problem can be arrested a day at a time by weighing and measuring our food and abstaining completely from all flour and sugar.
