Re: Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous Dear (Name and title),

Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) is a program based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. FA offers help to people suffering from the disease of food addiction. Would you consider publishing the following announcement in your regular communications to your religious community?

FOOD ADDICTS IN RECOVERY ANONYMOUS

Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) is a program based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. FA is a fellowship of individuals who are recovering from the physical, mental and spiritual disease of food addiction. Some of us have been obese or under-eaters, bulimic or so obsessed with food or weight that we could not freely live our lives. FA is a non-profit organization, and there are no dues, fees, or weigh-ins at meetings. More information is available at www.foodaddicts.org.

Weekly meetings are held at:
(List locations, days, times of local meetings)

Thank you for considering this request. A posting in your bulletin, newsletter, or on your website could bring FA to the attention of someone who needs help.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Sincerely,

(Your name)
