What Is the Best Way to Start Over After Going Through a Devastating Addiction?
Question by katalina: What is the best way to start over after going through a devastating addiction?
I just want to know if anyone can give me some ideas as to how they started their life over. I am 22 and I had a very devastating problem called bulimia for 5 years. I dropped out of two universities, got pregnant twice, went to jail, failed two treatment programs, almost died of alcohol poisioning, put my family through hell and wasted great amounts of money. All of those things were totally out of character. In high school I was such a conscientous perfectionist. Now I’m back in school and feel lost, scared, lonely, and discouraged because I know that I have to change everything about myself and learn to think in a whole different way about life and about who I am. I now feel that I finally have the strength to change but I am very overwhelmed and I worry a lot and feel guilty. I see a counselor, take an anxiety pill and they are helping but any ideas as to what other things I can do to stay on path to recovery?
