My name is Alecia and I am 22 and (thank goodness) about to graduate from ASU.

I have been mostly vegan for a couple years now (although there was definitely occasional fish and bagels w/ cream cheese) and ... I don't really remember how I found Alissa's book? It was back in April and after reading it I immediately went 100% but only lasted 4 days. I felt great though. I vowed to return to it as soon as I could.

Months of excuses and busyness passed and I finally felt ready again, I am on day 6 and feel great. I have been mostly 100%, although I definitely am not ready to give up beer...baby steps.

Anyways, I love this forum and visit it constantly. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best way to eat and I can't wait to see what happens as I continue down the path.

Hi Alecia, I am in the west valley. I searched meetup.com and found 5 places in the east valley that have raw food meetups. There were 2 more - a potluck in Tempe - Awhatukee area, and one in Mesa, that did not show but perhaps a further search would find them.

Welcome!

Really? Wow! I didn't think there was much of anything in the Phoenix area. Although I've never heard of meetup.com so that's probably why. I just searched for restaurants and found nothing :(

That's awesome you live around here! We definitely don't have to worry about hot food cravings from a long cold winter, haha.
