Phone 1-218-862-4106, pin 32484#
Hello and welcome. My name is_______________________. Whether you are a seasoned old-timer in your faith in Jesus or not sure how you feel about your relationship with God, we are here to love and support you.
Could I have a volunteer to read our Preamble? You can find the Meeting Format at our website: www.fulloffaith.com. *6 unmutes and mutes your phone lines.
PREAMBLE: Full of Faith is a Christian support group for food addicts in recovery. We apply Biblical principles in working the 12-steps, and we do not eat sugar, flour, sweeteners (natural or artificial), and volume one day at a time. We plan what we eat and eat what we plan. For more information about the program, go to fulloffaith.com.
PRAYER: (Ask the person assigned to open in prayer.)
At this meeting, we will focus on a tool of recovery, then we'll read ____________________. Everyone is welcomed to share their experience, strength and hope, however, we ask that you refrain from mentioning specific foods by name, as it could trigger food thoughts in others, and there is no cross-talk, which is commenting on another person's share (positive or negative) or giving advice. We want everyone to feel safe and protected here in the Full of Faith family.
TOOLS: Here are the tools that keep us on the road to freedom from addictive thinking and behavior.
•*Abstinence (following a food plan)
*Accountability (having a sponsor or accountability partner or posting on the Full of Faith Accountability Pages)
* Communication (making phone calls, texting, posting and commenting on our Facebook groups)
* Literature (The Bible, AA Big Book and The Twelve Steps for Christians; also Pam’s book Sweet Surrender, and other resources about food addiction recovery.)
*12-Step Study (We work the steps as a way-of-life.)
* Meetings (We have the Kickstart meetings Monday-Saturday mornings 8:30 AM (EST), and Monday and Wednesday evenings 7-7:30 PM (EST))
*Writing (Food plan, journalling, step studies)
*Action Plan (Putting what you learn into action in all aspects of our life.)
*Prayer and Meditation (Spending time in the presence of our Lord.)
*Anonymity (confidentiality and respect)
*Love and Service (Giving back what we've learned and received.)
(Leader shares about the tool, then passes the meeting to co-leader.)

Who would like to share on this reading or the tool of _____________________?
