Attend a Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) meeting

The best way to learn about FA is to attend a meeting where you can speak to a greeter, find a sponsor, pick up literature, and hear experiences of recovering food addicts. Find FA meetings here.

Read FA literature

The pamphlet, Food Addiction and the FA Solution: for anyone who wants to know more, describes the illness of food addiction and the solution offered by FA. Living Abstinently describes the tools FA members use daily. Many other helpful FA pamphlets are available to read online.
