Hello pinkgurl. I'm really sorry that you've had a set-back. It does sound like you've done great with not-purging for quite a while. That is progress. I'm happy that you came here to hold yourself accountable and seek some support. I think that is a really positive step. I do hope that you'll keep reaching out to us and all other avenues of help.

When you say this, it makes me feel that you need to make sure that you commit to some face2face meetings for your addictions. It sounds like you are saying that when you can't cover your problems with one thing then you'll replace that with another something to cover or avoid dealing with the real underlying issues. That really is what we're all doing with our different addictions.
The 12-step programs are a way of being honest with ourselves so that we can uncover our real underlying issues that lead us to think that we need to overindulge in something. We really won't get well until we can be honest with ourselves enough to uncover and admit the real underlying problem that we're running from, but we can't get away from it because it is within us. We have to consciously deal with the original problem if we hope to ever recover.
I hope you'll keep coming back here.
