I will get a sponsor once I move back home. Until then, I'll keep working with the recovering priest up here.
Thank you for the prayers. Eating disorders are considered addictive processes, like gambling, or shopping. It's another way of not living in reality, of trying to numb out, and of trying to exert control that eventually ends up with the sufferer losing control. I have been trying to use some of the tools that I learned for ED recovery and applying them to alcohol, especially with the emotional reasons that I'm trying to numb out by drinking. I really think that the core issues are still there, just that I'm playing addiction "whack-a-mole". I got the ED under control, and something else now has popped up.
