About this meeting
The ACA Food & Emotions meeting runs online every Saturday at 10am, UK and Ireland time, looking at how growing up with a parent's drinking or other family dysfunction can shape a person's relationship with food and feelings in adulthood. It sits within Adult Children of Alcoholics rather than a separate eating-focused fellowship, so the emphasis stays on the family dynamics behind the pattern rather than on food itself. The meeting is open, welcoming both members exploring this connection in their own lives and friends or professionals interested in the fellowship. Saturday morning gives it a quieter, more reflective pace than some evening meetings, and newcomers are free to listen without speaking.
