The Public Information Committee Needs Your Story

GreySheeters with 90+ days of abstinence, we would love to receive your written qualification to be posted on our website under the Stories section. Your story means so much to us and our community. The more stories we publish, the more newcomers will be able to identify with our experiences. Just tell us

  • What did it look like when you were eating compulsively?
  • What happened? 
  • What does your abstinent life look like today? 


We want to hear from you! Please emailPIC@greysheet.org.

 

Board of Trustees Column

Hi GreySheet family,

I weigh and measure my food three times a day off the GreySheet and I don't eat no matter what!

Repeating this mantra has helped me to get and stay abstinent for almost 38 years. Saying mantras has been instrumental in helping me to block out the deep-seated voices of my disease that in the past have led me to picking up that first bite. Over the years I have been faced with many good and bad "no matter whats" and am grateful that by staying abstinent I am living a life I never dreamed possible.

It has been an honor to serve on the Board of Trustees for almost three years and doing this service has helped me stay close to the GreySheet community. As a BOT member I also serve as the liaison to the Public Information Committee. We are a small group of GSA members who meet on the first Sunday of every month to discuss ways in which we can help carry the GSA message through utilizing different avenues of Public Information.

We are always looking for new volunteer members to join our tight knit group. You don't have to be a GSR or ISR to serve as a volunteer on a committee. If you are looking for ways to do service and stay connected outside of meetings, consider joining a committee. It can be hugely gratifying!

Anne G.

Join the GSA World Services Facebook Group to keep up with all the latest announcements. Since it's a secret, private group, email InternalFacebook@greysheet.org for a time-sensitive link to join.

This Facebook group is NOT the meeting before the meeting; it's not the meeting; it's not the meeting after the meeting. It is Any GreySheet-related Announcements? during the meeting.

  • Post group information like a new meeting, changing the format of your meeting, needing trusted servants for your meeting.
  • Post intergroup information like changes to your intergroup meeting schedule, service opportunities in the intergroup, new services offered by your intergroup like a WhatsApp group, a YouTube Channel, or a podcast.
  • Post announcements about events that have been approved by the Public Information Committee for publication by GSA World Services https://www.greysheet.org/events/list-your-event. Retreats, roundups, gatherings, speaker blasts, and meeting marathons are all welcome.
  • Post World Service Conference committee information like a new way to register for Start Up Sponsor training, delegate training, delegate registration, service positions on your committee, improvements to the group registration process, the launch of the GreySheet Counts census, and 25thanniversary celebrations.

2023 GreySheeters Anonymous World Service Conference Meeting

October 22nd, 2023

9:30am to 2:30pm ET, via Zoom

Registration for our 8th World Service Conference meeting will open the first week in March 2023. It is a very powerful time for the growth of GreySheeters Anonymous. The World Service conference committees are working diligently on guidelines and policies to support our fellowship. 

If you are an ISR or represent a group as a GSR, please consider registering as a delegate for our World Service Conference meeting so your group will have input on the proposals presented at the WSC.  All of the information will be in the link below. We will update the information regularly! There will also be delegate training as we get closer.

https://greysheet.org///www.greysheet.org/world-service-conference/upcoming-conference

We have made some exciting changes for 2023. World Service Specialists, i.e. the Service Matters Coordinator, can be voting members at the World Service Conference. The total number of registrants will determine the number of specialists spaces available. Those elected by the board or a committee as a specialist should register as well. 

We are working diligently as a committee and would welcome 1 or 2 new members. 

This will be our third Zoom WSC meeting! It is very exciting to see your fellow abstinent service-mongers and communicate the information to your groups or intergroups!

SAVE the DATE and we’ll see you then!

 

When anyone, anywhere realizes they have a problem with food,
I want them to think of the GreySheet solution.
For that I am responsible.
