We are a 12-step fellowship where individuals come together to support each other in overcoming compulsive eating. This includes overeating, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, and other food-related compulsive behaviors.

CEA-HOW follows a spiritual (but not religious) approach, offering a structured set of guiding principles for recovery from addiction and compulsion. Our program is rooted in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, founded by Bill W. and Dr. Bob in 1935, and adapted to address the unique challenges of food addiction.
