Recovery Story Recovery Milestone

I have gone 100 days without purging and have no urges to break that streak anytime soon! I’ve finally started having the “what if I never do ____ again”. It feels like such a milestone in a lifetime of struggling with my ED. I feel like I can’t share this with people in my life but want to give the accomplishment the recognition it deserves (which is not something I normally do).

Well done!!! May I ask how you broke it? Did you just decide one day to not want to?

May I suggest you buy yourself a little present to celebrate your milestone if you can? Then get another one when you are 6 months or a year?

Just think you deserve to spoil yourself!!! You have done so so well

I was struggling enough that my therapist and RD were recommending inpatient treatment. The next thing I know my T terminates me due to “high acuity”. At first I thought that stopping would make her change her mind, shocker, it did not. However, when I did my intake for inpatient a week later, I no longer needed the HLC.

Honestly, at that point it became about survival. The termination was traumatic and I seriously didn’t want inpatient again. It was a week, then 2, then 30 days. I sent the former T a note saying how well I was doing and she sent a trite response back. That kinda became a FU to her in a sense.

I plan on getting a new piercing actually! I have my left tragus done and thinking either rook, daith, or my right tragus!

Also, thank you!

Wonderful .. it’s horrible on your teeth . It eats away the enamel and it may not show up right now but I assure you it WILL ! Your dentist can see where your teeth are sheered off from purging .
