Our mom's loop is a special place where moms (or dads or other caretakers) can support each other in their recovery from compulsive eating. Here in confidentiality, we help each other with the special challenges that motherhood presents, such as maintaining our abstinence while cooking for our families, finding time to work our program while caring for our children, and learning how to care for our own recovery while we care for our loved ones. Although we are called a "Mom's" group, in the spirit of Tradition 3 we welcome everyone seeking recovery from compulsive eating who wishes to join. We can do together what we have not been able to do alone! Welcome to 12 Step 4 Mom COE's! Welcome Home!
Our email loop has some basic guidelines that all members must follow. Please, read the following guidelines and be sure to follow them when you begin to share on our loop:
Guideline 1: On this loop we share our experience, strength, hope and inspiration with fellow compulsive overeaters. Our purpose is to encourage, upbuild and strengthen our recovery from compulsive overeating, through sharing positive messages of truth, courage and the overcoming of adversity. Feel free to share both your problems and their solutions. Please remember to always use courtesy and respect.
Guideline 2: Although ours is a spiritual program, each member of our groups interprets this spiritual side in his/her own way. Therefore, in order to protect the spiritual program of all our members, in general 12step4coes intergroup loops and meetings we use the terms God, God of my understanding, or higher power, when referring to our spiritual work.
Guideline 3: Negative messages that attack or put down other members of this loop are called "flaming" and are not allowed. If you have something personal to discuss with someone, please email them privately. Members who choose to "flame" on our loop will lose their privilege to share on the loop. Thanks for helping make our loop a safe place for all of us to share.
