You are amazing. :) Isn't giving it back so beneficial? My first sponsee is finishing up the steps on (next) Sunday and speaking at a Young People's meeting in Providence tomorrow. He's 5 months sober. I don't have to tell you how awesome that makes me feel, because you already know. :) You're an inspiration. :) Hugs.

Yes.... addiction can definitely work in the opposite direction too, to create good things in exponential amounts.

and you say your recovered, but your whole life is still revolved around your diet and what you've eaten and how much weight you've lost.

Just an observation.

( I mean I kind of know that you did meth to lose weight to begin with)

recovery is a growing process. i feel differently about my body and self now, i am not suicidal, i am generally not depressed or self-destructive. i have new insights i never had before, and want them to be greater, i don't want to slip into the world of the self-pitying, where the windows are forever black. my vision is greater than that. the point of my story is to try & inspire may a couple of people into changing, or considering change, or just observing change is enough. i like the tangible evidence of recovery this article brings, and my parents are proud. even if i am still struggling emotionally and still turn to my eating disorder during stress (which i quite honesty probably need counseling for), it doesn't mean my heart isn't open to love and development.

in other words, i am not fucking perfect or anything close to it. the image portrayed in this article is cookie cutter and lacks dimension.
