Meeting Format
Phone 1-218-862-4106, pin 32484# (faith# on your phone's keypad)
Hello and welcome to the ____________________(say what meeting it is). 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 limit your shares to 2 to 3 minutes in order to give others an opportunity to share, although, if the room is quiet, feel free to share a second or third time. We 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. Using "for me" statements enables 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.

*Accountability (having a sponsor or accountability partner or posting on the Full of Faith Accountability Pages)
