WELCOME!

This website provides information about Video Conferencing (i.e. Zoom), Phone, and In-person AWOLs for food addicts choosing to live in recovery.

AWOL is short for “a way of life” and is a committed study of the Twelve Steps pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous. Participants must:

1. Have a sponsor working a program of recovery from food addiction

2. Sustain abstinence for the duration of the AWOL, one day at a time

3. Commit to attending AWOL meetings, never missing two in a row.


The primary texts used for this study will be The Little Red Book, AA’s Big Book, and The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. FA’s Grey Book titled Food Addicts In Recovery may also be referenced.

Please consider donating to supporting this website and its mission. You can send donations via Venmo to: @jlegon. Please put “AWOLMeetings” in the notes. Thanks!
