Tradition 5 states “Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry its message to the compulsive eater who still suffers”. But how? The CEA-HOW Public Information Committee has consolidated materials to help you and/or your meeting, your Intergroup or your Area reach out on all three levels of Public Information.

  1. Keeping the fellowship well informed, so that members and groups may carry the message effectively.
  2. Informing the Public about the CEA-HOW program.
  3. Informing “the third person” whose work is or may be involved with the active compulsive eater.

Our popular Conference approved Public Information Brochure trifold, Do You Need Help with your Eating?,  is available at minimal cost from Intergroups and WSO.  This is for distribution to the general public.

The CEA-HOW Public Information Guidelines, produced by the CEA-HOW World Service Business Conference Public Information Committee provides information and practical examples for carrying the message of CEA-HOW recovery.  They are compiled from shared experience of CEA-HOW members and are for use by all CEA-HOW members and service bodies.  The Guidelines communicate how we, from a practical standpoint, can make the public aware that it is possible to recover from compulsive eating through working the CEA-HOW Concept.

The CEA-HOW Public Information Guidelines includes sections on:

  • Attraction vs Promotion
  • Carrying the Message
    • The Compulsive Eater
    • The Professional Community
    • CEA-HOW Members and Service Bodies
  • The Media
  • Summary
  • References
  • Sample Letters
