Eating Disorders-Women!

This recovery support group's purpose is to conquer the painful effects of eating disorders. We support each other as family and we seek to apply the 8 Recovery Principles to our lives and to our relationships.

We cannot fix your problems and we will not try to run your life for you, but we will welcome you, accept you, and love you.

This is a safe place where we share our experience, strength, and hope with each other.  Many of us were angry, lonely and ashamed of the way our lives had become when we attended our first meeting. We had secrets that we were reluctant to share, but we were relieved to be in a place where people understood our pain and despair.

Here we learn a new way of living, at our own pace, and we experience intimacy in a healthy way, by sharing with others. We learn to trust, to ask for our needs to be met, to say no when no is appropriate, to express our feelings, and to hang around when all we want to do is run. Here no one shames us for what we have done or still are doing. The only requirement for membership in our group is a desire to stop living in the past, and start living in the future.

Those of us who have experienced life change through the program offer this challenge to you. This program works as we complete the work with the help and supervision of a sponsor or accountability partner. If you do not have a sponsor or accountability partner, we encourage you to enlist one, complete the written work in the Celebrate Recovery Workbooks and share your work with your sponsor or accountability partner.

We are happy you are here. We encourage you to take one day at a time and keep coming back... it works!
