This is a closed workshop that meets two hours once a week on Saturdays from 4 PM to 6 PM Eastern beginning November 11, 2023. The introduction/orientation session is Saturday, November 11th and is the only open session to help you decide if you are ready to commit to the reading, writing and step work involved. Plan on spending two hours a week at the meeting and another two hours a week of outside step work. No one else will be able to join after November 11th. Meeting facilitation will be shared by the participants. Questions, text Alice at 919-247-1338. This is a wonderful way to be supported while going through all 12 steps leading to a spiritual awakening and freedom from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors. The workshop requires purchase of the green Twelve Step Workshop and Study Guide, Second Edition 2nd edition. You must be able to turn on your video at the beginning of the meeting so the host can verify you and turn your video on during the break out rooms and when sharing. If you are unable to meet the requirements of the workshop, please use another way to work the 12 steps.
