Another Member Shares on Long Time Recovery

Recently I celebrated a milestone in my life. Sunday April 30th was my 38th year anniversary…the day I entered the “world of recovery” and the direction of my life shifted. I never intended to do this for the rest of my life. I really had never been able to commit to anything for very long. But a day at a time, added up to weeks, then months, years and now decades. Any type of eating disorder, bankrupts one’s soul. There is so much shame for those struggling with overeating or any other destructive food behavior. The loneliness and isolation weigh heavy. Continuing to not meet a highly regarded societal standard…debilitating and devastating! Options for change and assistance are out there. Take a chance and make the effort to reach out. You are worth it!! Today I am humbled by the grace I found…and then again, maybe it found me.
