Sometimes I think I will never be able to live without some sort of addictive behavior. It’s been a week and a half since I’ve binged and purged. I really wanted to do it tonight, but instead I stole some of my roommate’s whiskey. I can’t “recover” from an eating disorder and become an alcoholic. That cannot happen. I need to get my shit together.

HOW DO PEOPLE FUNCTION WITHOUT BINGEING, PURGING, RESTRICTING, DRINKING, OR ABUSING OTHER DRUGS?
