How Addictive Eaters Anonymous works

Members of Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) achieve sobriety by sharing their experience, strength and hope with each other and living the Twelve Step programme of recovery as a way of life. By regular attendance at AEA meetings, getting a sponsor, working the steps, keeping in contact with sober members, and carrying the message of recovery to the still suffering addictive eater, members are freed from addictive eating and the obsession with food.

Newcomers sometimes struggle to understand how AEA works. There are no rules and no one appears to be in charge. No one seems to tell anyone else what to do. This is because AEA members simply share what has worked for them. They are guided by the the Twelve Traditions of Addictive Eaters Anonymous. Members have found from their own experience that change must come from within and cannot be forced upon another person. At the heart of the AEA programme is the spiritual concept of surrender. When a newcomer is ready and asks a member for help, the following suggestions are generally made to them:

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

- New landfill on top of existing landfill (piggyback option) - the Council's preferred option.
- Waste to energy incineration.
- No residual waste facility in Wellington City.
