In response to What helped you recover? posted by lorihenry:

Wow, it seems like decades ago that I began recovery and I'm still in the process. What really helped me to take that first step was encouragement from my best friend at the time. She told me that life could be better without being sick and held my hand when I phoned the resource center. Having that 1 person support me so unconditionally played a huge factor. We need to help our friends and family members to get help if they're sick. Sometimes all we need is the strength from someone else in order to see our own. From there it's been a long and rewarding journey into recovery. I'm so glad I took it.

It took me a long time to make the decision to recover, I wanted to prove to my boyfriend I could do it, he allowed me to be completely open and honest for the first time. Unfortunely he could not reciprocate and after our future together dissolved, I finally seriously took steps forward to beat bulimia for myself. I'm still working hard, always keeping in mind if I want to fulfill my dreams I have to be healthy.
