Eating Disorders? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

girloverboard · 09-03-2009, 11:52 AM

I've suffered from a really severe form of Bulimia Nervosa since I was 11/12 now. Its been 5 years, many close to death encounters & still I can't seem to find my way out. I receive therapy but it's never really helped.

Anyway, Just letting anyone know if they need support, I'm always here.

Much Love,
MK

Did you ever try OA? there are a bunch of people in recovery from bulima from OA. I am sure there are some in UK too! oagb.org.uk However if you can do the phone meetings in the US the OA 90 day meetings are the best. They have a structure of eating that lessens your desire to binge. I have met countless people on there who are just like you.

Hi girloverboard. I just want to say Welcome to this forum and I hope you'll keep coming back. Thank you for the offer of support for all of us here. We do need it.

I'd also like to say that it sounds like Lily has some really good ideas. I don't think that I could add anything better to what she said. I think that it all just comes down to really believing that we have the power to choose what we want for ourselves and for us to try and make the best choice, just one trying moment at a time and then getting up to try again even when we slip. I also believe that it's most important to work our recovery program with others who need to work their recovery program too. If we try to do it by ourselves, it'll be next to impossible. That's just my 2 cents.

I found that DBT therapy helps although I'm getting bact to it because Anorexia has a hold of me again. You do have to choose to be healthy but that doesn't mean it will be easy
good luck

Hey, I am 33, also bulimic and been hospitalized twice for it. I'm not sure where you are in the UK but have you heard of ABA? (Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous), they are a relatively new fellowship and have several meetings in central London a week.

Could be worth a try, check out their website and their book is fantastic.

Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous

Good luck.
