Struggling again - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

renee18 · 09-05-2007, 08:24 PM

Don't you sometimes just wish that food would be our friend. Well I don't think it can happen just like that. I have been back in school for about two weeks now. I am glad to be back on campus with my friends and taking my classes.

About four weeks ago. I started skipping meals again. It is getting a little worse. This time I am not sure what happen I just noticed it was getting worse in the last week or so now. stress maybe I am just not sure. for me to have balance in my diet is so hard. It is hard for me to keep exercising when I start. I worked out two days last week which was good for me. But this week I have not yet, but i know the week is not over yet.

I feel like I can't talk to my friends or the ones I normal talk too because it is just the same stuff, just another day. I am not even sure if I want to eat normally? Which is scary to me as well. I want to be thin and that is what i want right now. I am just not happy with me and i have been comparing myself to everyone. Looking to see what they have that I don't or to see what I have that they don't.

Where to I start?

Hi Shana,
I just wanted to say that it's good to hear from you. I can't really help you much, but to say that I do understand what you're dealing with and so remember that you're definitely not alone in your struggle. I too am struggling again.

I have been progressively getting worse since I've not been to an Overeater's Anonymous Meeting in a year now. I moved and couldn't get to them and there isn't any meetings where I live now, so I'm back to my old ways.
I can't remember if you've gone to OA yet or not, but if you haven't I certainly want to recommend that you find a meeting near you that you can attend regularly. You may not see alot of a difference right away, but later you will start to see how you've progressed in your recovery without even realizing it. This is just a suggestion of course. It's just what helped me and not going to a meeting has certainly been detrimental to my recovery.
