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.
