The Tradition 5 states "Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the compulsive eater who still suffers". But how? CEA-HOW Public Information Committee has worked hard to consolidate materials to help you and/or your meeting or Intergroup reach out at all three levels. These documents have been provided by various CEA-HOW groups and intergroups. They are not required by nor endorsed by CEA-HOW World Service; rather they are examples of ways that you might reach out to let people know about CEA-HOW.
CEA-HOW Public Information has one ultimate goal: To carry the message to the compulsive eater who still suffers. Public information reaches the compulsive eater in three ways:
- By informing the public about the CEA-HOW program.
- By informing “the third person” whose work is or may be involved with the active compulsive eater.
- By keeping the fellowship well informed, so that members and groups may carry the message effectively.
On this web page you’ll find materials to help you and/or your Meeting or Intergroup reach out at all three levels. The documents have been provided by various CEA-HOW groups and intergroups, and are not required by nor endorsed by CEA-HOW World Service. They are merely examples of ways that you might reach out to let people know about CEA-HOW.
Most of the documents are editable Word or Excel documents, which you can take and tailor for your meeting, Intergroup, or event. Versions in PDF format are also provided for reference. If the PDF version doesn't come up in your browser, you can go to Acrobat Reader to download a free version of their software. You can also get a free viewer for the Word document from the Microsoft Download Center Word Viewer
