Serenity
Serenity comes not only from accepting what we cannot change but from giving up trying to be in control.

Information
EDA is a relatively new 12-step organization (started February 2000), founded by members of AA Phoenix who were looking for support in recovery from their eating disorders.

The only requirement for membership in EDA is a desire to recover from an eating disorder. It is important that meetings are run by people who have (or have had) an eating disorder. We believe people can and do recover fully from having an eating disorder.Easy Myspace help
We believe an eating disorder is a mechanism for coping with stress: we binge, purge and/or starve to feel better about our shame, anger, fear, loneliness, tiredness and ordinary human needs. As we learn to address stress through other mechanisms, the symptoms of the eating disorder tend to fade away. It is a process, not an event. In EDA, we share our experience, strength and hope with each other to help one another come to terms with and change how we deal with life.Easy Myspace help
