That's...First, congratulations on five years sober. That's quite an accomplishment. I used to be addicted to drugs, too. I've been sober for 16 years. I prefer to live sober, you know? <br />And thanks for the kind words about my struggling with food issues. This has been going on since I was about 10 or so. I'm not fully bulimic and I'm not fully anorexic, because I restrict mostly and only purge once in a while. The restricting doesn't feel as bad as the purging, but that's just probably because I'm trying to justify it to myself. I also go through phases where I can eat pretty much normally for a year or more and then I have phases where I restrict for a long time. I'm in a restricting phase right now. <br /><br />And thanks for the compliment on the theme of my blog. I appreciate that.Anais Ninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854303141967163306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26953856.post-51659060205847025552006-12-07T13:25:00.000-05:002006-12-07T13:25:00.000-05:00My sister has struggled with bulimia too.

You can't just stop eating. With drugs and alcohol - you completely quit and change your life to not put yourself in places where others are using. We can't get away from food!<br /><br />"I will not eat the darkness" - what a beautiful, poetic mantra!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
