Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) is a Twelve Step program of
recovery for anyone who suffers from overeating, under eating,
bulimia, or obsession with food, weight or body size. There are no
dues or fees, and meetings are open to anyone who wants to stop eating
addictively. Who might benefit from FA? People who find help in FA
vary greatly. Some of us have been diagnosed as morbidly obese while
others are undereaters. Among us are those who were severely bulimic,
who have harmed themselves with compulsive exercise, or whose quality
of life was impaired by constant obsession with food or weight. We
tend to be people who, in the long-term, have failed at every solution
we tried, including therapy, support groups, diets, fasting, exercise,
and in-patient treatment programs. Find weekly meetings in and around

work? Some of our members have been in continuous recovery
(maintaining a stable, healthy weight and enjoying freedom from
obsession with food, weight, bingeing, or bulimia) for over
twenty-five years. Members with five to ten years of recovery are
increasingly common. Would you like more information? We encourage
you to attend several meetings to gain an understanding of what the
program offers, and visit the FA website at foodaddicts.org to check
status of above meetings
