Food Addicts Anonymous

Food Addicts Anonymous

Food Addicts Anonymous (FAA) is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience and mutual support, are recovering from food addiction. The organization follows a twelve-step program similar to that of Alcoholics Anonymous.

History

Food Addicts Anonymous was founded in 1987 by a group of individuals who recognized the need for a program specifically addressing food addiction. The organization was established to provide support and guidance to those struggling with compulsive eating and food-related issues.

Program

The FAA program is based on the Twelve-step program model, which includes admitting powerlessness over food, seeking help from a higher power, and making amends for past behaviors. Members are encouraged to attend regular meetings, work with a sponsor, and follow a food plan.

Meetings

FAA meetings are held in various locations worldwide and are open to anyone who desires to stop eating addictively. Meetings provide a safe and supportive environment where members can share their experiences and offer support to one another.

Food Plan

The FAA food plan is a structured eating plan designed to help members abstain from addictive foods. It emphasizes balanced nutrition and the elimination of sugar, flour, and wheat from the diet.

Membership

Membership in Food Addicts Anonymous is open to anyone who has a desire to stop eating addictively. There are no dues or fees for membership; the organization is self-supporting through member contributions.
