Have you ever said those three words to yourself: I can recover? Perhaps, but have you actually believed in them? For many, recovery seems like a hopeless project. How to believe in change when the urges to restrict, binge or purge is so strong and so real? It feels like we have no choice but to engage in these types of behavior and that they’re an essential part of our identity. With time we forget what it was like to live…Keep Reading
