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,

• Because of questions raised regarding the order of the agenda of the February 7^th Board and Delegates meeting, the bulk of the meeting was devoted to the order of the agenda and several questions and motions were not addressed by the group. The Service Committee of the World Conference was delegated to discuss and propose some options.
• The Board met on February 13^th. The major focus of the Board continues to be support of the preparation for the World Service Conference in August in Chicago. However, the agenda of the meeting was set aside to hear the particular concerns of a Board member and proposals that would mitigate those concerns. The Board will meet again on March 13^th to further develop the planning for the World Service Conference.
• The World Service Conference Service Committee met on February 16^th to discuss next steps in planning for the World Conference. Unable to reach an agreement of how to proceed, they sent a motion to voting Board and Delegate members regarding the representation of the Phone Bridge delegation for the World Service Conference.
