In keeping with EDA’s 4th Tradition, use of outside literature (including literature from other Twelve Step groups) in EDA meetings is contingent on Group Conscience vote.
To prevent impact to other groups and EDA as whole, please state, “This group has voted to include outside literature, [name of specific text]” at the start of each meeting where outside literature is used.

The (older) EDA Step Workbook contains a few ideas (such as working with a Step Buddy) that our cumulative experience has shown to be less than optimal to support newcomers seeking recovery from an eating disorder. We think it is very important to work with a sponsor. In deference to EDA members who want to use the older material, we are leaving the (older) Step Workbook up for the time being.
We encourage new members and sponsors to work from Chapter 7 in the EDA Big Book together with the EDA Step Study Workshop Worksheets. The Audios tab includes recordings of the 2018 EDA Step Study Workshop.
