Unfortunately, there is no better name.
The vicious cycle is tricky, because you may believe it’s gone, until it comes back oh so violently and unexpectedly. Why won’t it leave, why can’t it just disappear? Like the flu, or the cold? Because it’s not the same, it’s like AIDS. It’s like cancer; it’s like the worst possible thing on this earth. It’s like an irregular menstrual cycle … you never know when it will come.
The greatest two weeks of your life are great indeed! Not one episode! Yes … this is recovery …
And then it happens … just once …
Then that one time turns into two days in a row, and then three days, then four, then the fifth day; two times that day.
Yes … this is recovery …
Recovery involves relapse, recovery sucks. Though the two weeks were still there, and can become two weeks more, maybe three or more? Hopefully, but they will involve more relapse, and you cannot get yourself down! We are all the same, and all different. Though here is a lesson never to forget.
Bulimia is a killer … never give up! We can do it! Take one step down, then two steps up … you’ll get there.
We’ll get there!
