RECOVERY FROM COMPULSIVE EXERCISE

Don't know how to stop compulsively exercising?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

Do you exercise compulsively to control your weight?
Are you constantly at the gym, out running, or thinking about working out?
Are you damaging your emotional, physical or psychological health by trying to get an ‘ideal’ body weight?
Do you obsess about burning calories and exercise to compensate for eating food?

How Addictive Eaters Anonymous Works

Members of Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) achieve sobriety by sharing their experience, strength and hope with each other and living the Twelve Step programme of recovery as a way of life. By regular attendance at AEA meetings, getting a sponsor, working the steps, keeping in contact with sober members, and carrying the message of recovery to the still suffering addictive eater, members are freed from addictive eating and the obsession with food.
