Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA)
[https://www.foodaddicts.org/]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 Amherst:
WEDNESDAY 6:45-8:15 pm - Jewish Community of Amherst
SUNDAY 4-5:30 pm - Newman Center @ UMass Amherst
FRIDAY 10-11:30 am - WESLEY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, HADLEY
Does FA 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.
