About this meeting
Healing From Body Shame is an online Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting held every Wednesday at 6pm UK time, open specifically to women and non-binary members. ACA is for adults who grew up with alcoholism or other family dysfunction, and this session looks at the shame many carry about their bodies as part of that inheritance. It runs as a closed meeting, meaning attendance is kept to those who share ACA's membership desire, so the group is a space where women and non-binary members can speak candidly among people who understand similar territory without needing to explain themselves first. There is no venue to find and no fee to pay; you join from wherever you are, and the joining details are kept on ACA's own meeting page. Newcomers are welcome to listen for a while before they share anything themselves.
Common questions
Who is this meeting for?
It's a closed Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting, kept for women and non-binary members who share ACA's membership desire: having grown up with alcoholism or other family dysfunction. That isn't about excluding anyone unkindly, it simply keeps the room specific so members can talk openly about experiences like body shame without needing to give background first.
Is there a cost, and do I need to book a place?
No. Like all ACA meetings, it's free to attend and there's no need to book or sign up in advance. You simply join at the meeting time.
How do I join, and do I need my camera on?
Joining details are kept on ACA's own meeting page rather than listed here. If you're not ready to be seen, it's fine to join with your camera off and listen for a while before you say anything.
