Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA), founded by sober members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), have produced a work that emulates the \"Big Book\" in style and substance. EDA respects the pioneering work of AA while expanding its Twelve-Step message of hope to include those who are religious or seek a spiritual solution, and for those who are not and may be more comfortable substituting \"higher purpose\" for the traditional \"Higher Power.\" Further, the EDA approach embraces the development and maintenance of balance and perspective, rather than abstinence, as the goal of recovery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitial chapters provide clear directions on how to establish a foothold in recovery by offering one of the founder's story of hope, and collective voices tell why EDA is suitable for readers with any type of problem eating, including: anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, emotional eating, and orthorexia. The text then explains how to use the Twelve Steps to develop a durable and resilient way of thinking and acting that is free of eating disordered thoughts and behaviors, including how to pay it forward so that others might have hope of recovery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the second half of the text, individual contributors share their experiences, describing what it was like to have an eating disorder, what happened that enabled them to make a start in recovery, and what it is like to be in recovery. Like the \"Big Book,\" these stories are in three sections: Pioneers of EDA, They Stopped in Time, and They Lost Nearly All. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders using the Twelve Steps to recover from other issues will find the process consistent and reinforcing of their experiences, yet the EDA approach offers novel ideas and specific guidance for those struggling with food, weight and body image issues. Letters of support from three, highly-regarded medical professionals and two, well-known recovery advocates offer reassurance that EDA's approach is consistent with that supported by medical research and standards in the field of eating disorders treatment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntended as standard reading for members who participate in EDA groups throughout the world, this book is accessible and appropriate for anyone who wants to recover from an eating disorder or from issues related to food, weight, and body image.","brand":"GURZE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51543860511010,"sku":"9798887980171-new","price":20.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9798887980171.jpg?v=1776392945"},{"product_id":"love-finally-untangling-knot-between-mothers-daughters-food-9780593733738-new","title":"Love, Finally: Untangling the Knot Between Mothers, Daughters, and Food","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe all inherit stories about belonging, bodies, and worth.

Her books have sold millions of copies, and her workshops have months-long waiting lists. But only recently, when she was diagnosed with cancer, did she begin to understand how deeply entwined her feelings about her body are with her relationship to her mother. And, she realized, this is true for almost every woman: the voice inside our heads, the voice we use to talk to ourselves, which criticizes the size of our thighs or the softness of our stomachs--these are all-too-often the voices of our mothers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoth was determined to untangle her sense of self from her mother's judgment. Working with a blind eighty-six-year-old wisewoman, Roth learned to distinguish between her mother's influence and her own truer inner knowing. Roth began to see that it was not what her mother said or did that made her unhappy, but what Roth believed about herself because of what her mother said or did. For the first time, Roth began to understand how peace does not depend on external circumstances--you do not need to wait for someone else to change--it relies only on what you yourself choose to believe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in her signature style--funny, self-deprecating, soulful--\u003ci\u003eLove, Finally\u003c\/i\u003e is Roth's story of discovering the deeper awareness that set her free. This transformative, healing book is an essential roadmap for anyone who wants to repair their relationships with food, their families, and themselves.","brand":"DIAL PR","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51578637877538,"sku":"9780593733738-new","price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9780593733738.jpg?v=1777410507"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/collections\/self-help-eating-disorders-body-image.oembed","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
