About this meeting
CEA-HOW is a 12-step fellowship for people who want to stop eating compulsively, using the HOW method of Honesty, Openness and Willingness, built around a committed food plan and sponsorship. The Irvine group meets every Tuesday evening at 7.30pm at Harbour Lights on Harbour Street, a short walk from the town centre. This is a pitch and speaker meeting: one or more members share their own experience of the programme, offering a chance to hear how HOW's structured approach has worked for someone else before the floor opens more generally. It is an open meeting, so anyone curious about compulsive eating recovery is welcome to sit in, whether that is a newcomer, a visiting CEA-HOW member, or someone supporting a friend or relative. No referral, weigh-in or commitment is needed simply to attend and listen.
