Revising "Some Thoughts on Sponsoring" - Give Your Feeback to the Literature Committee

Feb 22 @ 1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT

Feb 23 @ 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT 

The Literature Committee invites you to provide feedback on or ask questions about a motion to adopt a revision of the pamphlet “Some Thoughts on Sponsoring.”

The purpose of this motion is to revise the 2009 version of “Some Thoughts on Sponsoring.” The original pamphlet was written years ago, and while many continue to find it useful, it was time to update the pamphlet to reflect more current practices in sponsoring. A key revision in the proposed version is the emphasis that sponsors are not medical professionals and should not offer advice or suggestions regarding any medical issue. While remaining true to the core principles of recovery from food addiction, the proposed version contains contributions from many FA members with varying sponsoring practices. 

The Literature Committee welcomes feedback on the content of the pamphlet from all those with 90 days or more of continuous abstinence. Written comments can be sent to wes@foodaddicts.org.
