6 Months and 5 Days Clean
That's where I was when I first found this place yesterday, via recoveryzone.org.
Spiritually... I'm getting there. I definitely believe in a higher power, I'm just... a bit confused, I suppose. I'm working on it with my sponsor though.
Physically, I'm losing weight.
The healthy way, that is! I struggled with eating disorders for a good 4 years and when I gave up on anorexia, I got up to 200lbs. Now I'm at 188 and I've been working out daily and intaking 1500+ calories a day.
Mentally, I'm a WRECK. So much CRAP's going on. I got out of a monoth long treatment center about 2 weeks ago that I went into for relapse prevention and nothing changed once I got out. A few days later, I was at an AA meeting and left with some guys, went to the mall, got caught shoplifting, and then ran away to an old using friend's house. Somehow, I managed to stay sober. It's definitely a god thing. Last night, my dad and I got into a brawl in front of my entire alternative peer group and I ran off crying. That was great... So yeah.
I'm also mentally EXHAUSTED from doing step work constantly, but I asked that that was how we do it with my sponsor, because I know that if I have free time I'm going to use it unwisely.
Anyways... Thanks for listening...
Victoria.

Welcome Victoria and congrats on your sober time!
I relate to food issues....it's the first place I tend to "act out".
I haven't smoked cigs for 15 months and no booze for 6+mos.
----definately don't want to go backwards with those two things...
Keep posting!
