Literature Committee is Seeking Stories

The Literature Committee is seeking stories and experiences of food addicts in recovery who have received mental health treatment and/or used medications to treat mental health conditions while in FA for the development of a new pamphlet, "Mental Health, Medication, and the FA Solution." If you would like to share your story for this pamphlet, we invite you to fill out this short survey to let us know of your interest, and if selected, we will contact you for more information.
