Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their
experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.
AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
AEA is not a diet or weight loss organization. AEA members follow a Twelve Step program, based on that of Alcoholics Anonymous. Through working the Steps, members find a Higher Power and freedom from the obsession with food. Members share their experience with newcomers of how they have found sobriety. The primary purpose of an AEA member is to stay sober and help other addictive eaters to achieve sobriety. Sobriety in AEA is freedom from addictive eating and all mind-altering substances.
