Eating disorders, Escape Your Eating Disorder






I have had my eating disorder for 18 years and thoroughly see it as a cunning, baffling, progressive, and fatal disease. There were the early romantic years in which I thought I had control, despite many hospitalizations and therapy that should have convinced me otherwise. I entered a 12 step fellowship nearly 10 years ago and knew, but I did not realize what an addict I was until a few years later. The disease grew so large, it shut out everything else. Where once I was energetic and friendly, I became withdrawn and sullen. Where once I had dreams and passions for social and economic justice, I became miserably self-centered and lonely. Recovery is always first, but I usually always forget the first thing on my master to-do list.

Dancing, dancing, dancing! Writing. Solidarity and community, social history, grassroots mobilization, and social justice. Red Rocks and solemn deserts. Large jewelry (and lots of it).

Corporate power and global capitalism.

I was thinking of NY tonight. At least it's better than other addictions. I was thinking of Dr. Robert O. Becker who use to live in Lowville and work in Syracuse.  He's one of my heroes!  He's a great scientist, he helps people, and he stands-up (against the major power companies, the telecommunications companies, and the political powers) for what is right!  I was wondering where he is now and if he misses New York.  Enjoy yourself!  I'll try to do the same!

Thanks for the statement, "
It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you are there."  I've been missing Upstate NY (moved away earlier this month.)  I need to focus on why I'm here in Utah and get on with my life.  Thanks and best wishes! --John.
