I started with a therapist who knew noth

I started with a therapist who knew nothing about ED's. I figured that out very quickly and requested a transfer to a specialist. I got my request (totally an act of G*d as the HMO I belong to isn't known for doing that!!) and started to see her and got into the therapy group she runs (again G*d was at work because normally there's a waiting list). After about 4 months it became obvious that I needed more so I went into IOP for 6 weeks After that I continued the therapy and therapy group. I also see a dietian and I regularly attend a local community group. I read a lot of books and recovery blogs (Joanna's was my first and continues to help me alot!!). It may seem a little much, but I really needed it at first to stay out of trouble. When temptations came, I turned to a blog, or group, or book. Now it's not a matter of life and death, but a good reminder that my recovery comes first! I've met a lot of people along their own recovery journeys and we each have our road to take; explore, trust and find what works for you! it's a hard road to take, but it's easier then life with Ed and it's so worth it!!
