We decided Starchat would give us that, and they certainly have. Each of our Starchat meetings has an experienced host, a meeting leader whom we call a Trusted Servant. So that our meetings continuously run smoothly, each of the Recovery Meeting Leaders are made Starchat Ops. Everything the Recovery Group does is for the benefit of those with eating disorders. Our services are many.
Compulsive eating is an addiction related to food that takes many forms.
Many, perhaps most, members consider themselves compulsive overeaters. As such, we abuse food in the same way, and for essentially the same reasons that an alcoholic uses alcohol. Once the compulsion to eat is triggered, we are unable to stop eating. Our ability to control the intake of food through diet and willpower is nil. Hence, conventional diets and weight loss programs do not work for us.
