Friday, November 14, 2025 | Non-Real Time Meeting of CCEA
Welcome to this non-real time meeting of CompulsiveEaters_CCEA!
My name is Cardi_0. I’m a recovered compulsive eater and your moderator for this meeting.
Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Today’s Big Book Reading
Today we are studying the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, page 135.
"Whether the family goes on a spiritual basis or not, the alcoholic member has to if he would recover. The others must be convinced of his new status beyond the shadow of a doubt. Seeing is believing to most families who have lived with a drinker."
(from the Big Book, page 135)

About Chronic Compulsive Eaters Anonymous (CCEA)
CCEA is a fellowship of individuals who have recovered from chronic compulsive food behaviors—bingeing, purging, starving, overexercising, etc.—by applying the precise instructions of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous to our compulsive eating illness. Our primary purpose is to carry the message of recovery to the compulsive eater who still suffers. Learn more about our fellowship.
Sponsors
Sponsors are recovered chronic compulsive eaters who guide others through working the 12 steps. To find a sponsor, look for someone who has the recovery you want and ask for their guidance. Will all sponsors please identify themselves in their posts?
Closing
Please join us in the closing by reading the Big Book, page 164: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny. May God bless you and keep you—until then."
