Welcome to GreySheeters Anonymous (GSA)

GreySheeters Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from compulsive overeating. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for GSA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. GSA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay abstinent and help other compulsive overeaters to achieve abstinence.

GreySheeters Anonymous has been founded and designed to discuss the fundamentals or basics of attaining and maintaining GreySheet abstinence. For that purpose we explore together the program of Alcoholics Anonymous in arresting compulsive eating. We strongly support GreySheet. We require that our meeting leaders be abstinent for at least three months on the GreySheet. We support a vigorous and positive attitude toward GreySheet abstinence which we define as three weighed and measured meals a day from the GreySheet, with nothing in between but black coffee, tea, or diet soda.

Dear GreySheeters,

This is your second update from the Board of Trustees of GreySheeters Anonymous World Service.  We began this series of updates to the fellowship to keep you informed of our progress towards our first World Service Conference in Chicago in August 2010 (the day before the annual Chicago GreySheet Retreat).

As you know, the purpose of the World Service organization is to support meetings and individual GreySheeters as they fulfill their primary purpose - to stay abstinent and to carry the message to the still suffering compulsive eater.

At the World Service Conference, you will send your Area Intergroup Delegates to elect the first elected Board and vote on a variety of proposals that will direct the work of that Board.  If you have not yet established your Area Intergroup, please see the information on the GreySheet website to get started.  http://www.greysheet.org/cms/intergroup-areas.html

In this monthly report, I would like to tell you about:
  • New Officers on the Board
  • Open Positions on the Board
  • Conference Progress

GSA Board Progress Report - April 2009

Dear GreySheeters,

Greetings to all from the Board of Trustees of GreySheeters Anonymous World Service.  We want to begin a series of updates to the fellowship as we approach the time of our first World Service Conference in August 2010.

Eleven years ago, in April 1998, a group of GreySheeters created GreySheeters Anonymous as a separate Twelve Step fellowship with its own World Service organization.  The purpose of the World Service organization is, as it is in Alcoholics Anonymous, to support the groups and individual GreySheeters as they fulfill their primary purpose – to stay abstinent and to carry the message to the still suffering compulsive eater.

In the last ten years, the Board of Trustees has worked to establish our organization with the registration of GreySheeters Anonymous meetings, bylaws, officers, a treasury, mail service, policies and procedures, committees, etc.  In that time, the Board has also had to work through legal channels to ensure that we are all free to use the GreySheet that is the foundation of our abstinence and our fellowship.
