Schedule

This three-day workshop for ACORN alumni is led by the co-founder of ACORN and Director of ACORN's professional training program.

The workshop will help you work on deep emotional and spiritual blocks that prevent you from  maintaining long-term abstinence and recovery. If you have trouble identifying feelings, dealing with anger, fear or grief, or surrendering to powerlessness over food, this workshop will give you practical skills that will support "abstinence first."

The focus is on how to deal with chronic food slips and/or relapse. When a food addict has a food slip or a relapse, physical, emotional and spiritual relapse has already happened. You don't have to let food addiction continue to make decisions in your life. If you have felt driven by the voice of addiction, this workshop will give you the skills to notice and become aware of how this disease has hijacked your mind.

Join Phil in a safe, nurturing small group format (with no more than five participants) to learn how use food "slip inventories," expressive exercises and written incidents of powerlessness (approaches which he pioneered) to remove stumbling blocks that prevent deep emotional and spiritual recovery.

For those who want to work directly with Mr. Werdell

For those who want more help with their most difficult recovery problems

For those with blocks to long-term stable recovery that are particularly persistent.
