While AWOLs are autonomous and co-leaders set the tone and the rules, by listing on this site, you agree that your AWOL will adhere to the following commitments as best practices in general:

​​​

• Abstinence is defined as weighed and measured meals with nothing in between — no flour, no sugar and the avoidance of all individual binge foods. 

• In addition, specific drugs and substances not allowed for the duration of this AWOL include: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, and all medication taken with the intent to alter the mood in the moment or provide situational relief from the symptoms of addiction. 

• Taking prescribed medications out of necessity to address physical or mental conditions is between fellows and their healthcare providers. In adherence with this statement — which captures the spirit of Tradition Ten — we take no position on this outside issue.

• You are required to have a sponsor who is an abstinent FA member. 

• AWOLs are intended to last at least one year (though size of group and other unforeseen circumstances may impact duration).

• Individual meetings last an hour and a half.
