Have a Knack for Tech?

We’re looking for volunteers to help facilitate FA’s Tech Support Office Hours. Support FA members and meetings with tech needs, from muting and raising hands to basic settings that help keep meetings safe from Zoom bombers. Tech Office Hours are held on the fourth Sunday of each month for 60 minutes at 7:30 AM PT. As part of a team, service is shared and periodic — not a monthly commitment. If you have at least six months of abstinence, you can be of service. Email wsitechnology@foodaddicts.org to get involved.

FA Podcasts: Stories of Recovery and Hope

Looking for inspiration on your recovery journey? Craving the company of another Food Addict? The FA Podcast library features members sharing their personal experience, strength, and hope in recovering from food addiction. Whether you’re new to the program or long-standing in recovery, these stories remind us that we are not alone. Listen anytime and share this powerful resource with others in the fellowship. Most recently released podcast - What I Heard Was Hope
