FA is an international fellowship of men and women who have trouble controlling our eating or thinking obsessively about food and have experienced difficulty as a result of the way we eat. 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 members are men and women of all ages, from the United States and abroad. Some of us have been obese, others have been too thin, bulimic, or so obsessed with food or weight that we could not freely live our lives. Among us are people who have weighed as little as 98 pounds, more than 385 pounds, or who have been normal weight. In FA, we have finally found a recovery that is long-term. FA members have continuously maintained normal weights and found freedom from obsession for more than twenty years.
