Eating Disorders Anonymous holds free, anonymous meetings across the UK for people recovering from eating disorders of every kind, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and patterns that do not fit one label. People of every body size and background come, and you do not need a formal diagnosis to take part.
EDA's approach is balance rather than abstinence. It does not use food plans, weigh-ins, or lists of forbidden foods, and it works on the thinking and feelings underneath the eating. Anything medical stays between you and your own doctor or dietitian.
Many EDA meetings are online, so people across the UK can join wherever they live. The only requirement is a desire to recover from an eating disorder.

Yes. All Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA) meetings are free to attend. There are no membership fees, no waiting lists, and no referrals required. Some groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions toward room hire costs, but this is entirely optional.
No. You can come and listen without saying anything. Nobody will call on you, and most people find it easier to sit quietly and take things in at first. If you want to say your name you can, but there is no expectation.
No. You do not need to have stopped before your first meeting. Many people attend while still in the middle of the problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop.
The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.
Someone chairs the meeting, reads a short opening, and members share from their own experience. You will not be called on or expected to take part. Meetings usually last about an hour.
