About Big Book Awakening
The Big Book Awakening (BBA) approach to Food Recovery is an in-depth study of the Twelve Steps as outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, specifically applied to food addiction and compulsive eating recovery.
This BBA approach enables you to have a personal spiritual experience—one you can pass on to others, which was AA’s original purpose—and to live in all of the Twelve Step promises. This approach is for compulsive overeaters, binge eaters, anorexics, restrictors, bulimics, body obsessors, those suffering from body dysmorphia, or anyone who struggles with addictive behaviors around food and body image.
The quality of recovery demonstrated by those who have participated in the BBA Food Recovery work and who are living an abstinent spiritual life today reflects a true program of attraction rather than promotion, guided by a God of our understanding. If you want a deeper experience of the Twelve Steps, want what we have, and are willing to go to any lengths to get it, then you are ready.
Getting started requires finding someone who has completed the BBA Food Recovery work, experienced what the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous describes as “a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps” and been relieved of the “hopeless state of mind and body”, to guide you through the Steps one-on-one. Alternatively, you can enroll in a BBA Food Recovery Workshop.
