Program/Service Notes:
FA is an international fellowship of men and women who have trouble controlling their eating or thinking obsessively about food and have experienced difficulty as a result of the way they eat. To have a fulfilling life without abusing food, they find they need the help and support of other food addicts in FA. FA's program of recovery is based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. FA uses the 12 Steps as a guide to help members control their eating. There are no dues, fees, or weigh-ins at FA meetings. FA is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience and mutual support, are recovering from the disease of food addiction. Membership is open to anyone who wants help with food. FA has proven to be an effective, long-term solution to food addiction for many food addicts, whether they be anorexics, bulimic, overeaters, or otherwise food-obsessed.
