I recognize many similarities in my recovery from alcoholism, although a big difference this time is that I'm using external support. It's made it a much linear road to me compared with my past eating disorder, although I also think that alcohol was more addictive to me.
haennie, thank you for you comment.
I believe that it takes some work for someone to separate themselfs from the addictive desires and understand how to recognize them, letting them go. But once you get well trained in it you will go fine. In the begining you might need some efford to understand the art of recognition, but once you get it its effortless. Thats becausa im here, i need to get it, and i know that i only will get it until i dont do it anymore based on a Big Plan and avrt.
