...Thank you Lindsay! I always love your comments :)<br />I agree that recovery is never 100% smooth sailing. Someone recently said to me that the worst thing you can do after a slip is nothing. I had never heard that before, but it's SO true. Someday in the future I can only hope to be meal plan free, seems to take forever. ;) Progression Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731921488035095856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-10772995422554792732013-06-19T19:09:50.073-07:002013-06-19T19:09:50.073-07:00I am really happy and proud of you for admitting t...I am really happy and proud of you for admitting this - especially with being honest about your feelings. You could have rationalized "Hey i only had one drink, no big deal" but to admit to recognizing your cravings for more and knowing this is not something you are ready for takes true bravery and shows your commitment to recovery. You are not beating yourself up over it, but you also aren't going to brush it under the rug or rationalize it. That is true progress!!! <br /><br />Maybe it's connected to your eating disorder recovery with what you're ready for at what times. Maybe one day you can eat freely without having to meal plan, and maybe one day you can drink socially without it turning into a relapse. Both of those things would be nice, but if either never happened, you would still be living a happy, healthy life and it would be worth it.<br /><br />Recovery is complicated - all types. I'm far from the belief that total relapse must happen in recovery, but to expect smooth sailing and perfection 100% of the time would not be realistic. Don't ever think your readers in either of your blogs would be disappointed in you for not being perfect - if anything seeing how you coped with it is a positive example of how to move past slips. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265906577174397793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-53644098690921223292013-06-19T13:42:51.023-07:002013-06-19T13:42:51.023-07:00That makes perfect sense and I like thinking about...That makes perfect sense and I like thinking about it that way much better.

I'm in school for social work specializing in EDs so we are kind of headed in the same direction.

I think that counting days for sobriety or abstinence (in my 12 step program, this is equivalent to sobriety) sometimes ruin a purpose of a recovery. We are not trying to do perfectly, and sometimes, we fall off. Sometimes, we try to see if we have the program by trying. If you don't try, how do you know? After a while, we will know about who we are, and will stop trying... So, I say, it was a learning experience, but your sobriety was not ruined. Make sense? ;-) xoxo artytechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023746097803453938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-9424262673823696932013-06-19T13:28:49.305-07:002013-06-19T13:28:49.305-07:00I've had anorexia twice, once when I was 18 an...I've had anorexia twice, once when I was 18 and when I was 34, both joined by OCD and I'm training to be a counseller for people with ED's, including BDD and promoting positive body diversity for women....<br />I think it was a pretty courageous thing to do Kelsi and will inspire other sufferers to know there not alone..<br />Good luck.<br />Ben.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433520716029969981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-42056366164993927972013-06-19T12:34:23.754-07:002013-06-19T12:34:23.754-07:00We will have to agree to disagree on that one m...We will have to agree to disagree on that one m'ladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-12105862882760004062013-06-19T08:49:31.169-07:002013-06-19T08:49:31.169-07:00Umm I'm pretty sure a triple anything is techn...Umm I'm pretty sure a triple anything is technically more than one drink ;)Progression Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731921488035095856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-91551653312788898332013-06-19T08:16:28.756-07:002013-06-19T08:16:28.756-07:00I stick to one drink too.
