It's hard trying to recover from an eating disorder and alcoholism at the same time.
You’re alive
You’re here today and there’s always new day tomorrow! Peace and blessings hopefully joy will come if not today in the morning! Stay strong sister!
Don’t drink and go to a meeting
Work the steps with a sponsor
Can you remember a time when you felt truly happy?
What's your favorite memory?
Erika, I know how you’re feeling. We get dry from time to time.
Simple actions help me in these dry times. Meditate on things I am grateful for, such as I’m not hungover! The people I love are ok. I don’t live in a war zone. Then I can get more granular and find appreciation for the little things.
It’s a daily practice, especially in the mornings. Sets up the rest of the day. But sometimes I need to meditate multiple times a day.
I hope this helps.
Are you working the 12 steps with a sponsor?
Find a sponsor that also struggles with both ED and addiction. The two go hand in hand.
