It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am a 25 year old grad student, working towards my PhD in Organizational Psychology. i have been anorexic and bulimic for 11 years. I know that I missed a large portion of my life - my childhood - hiding behind my eating disorder. I never really drank alcohol until about 8 or so years ago, because I despised the thought of the calories I'd be consuming.
For several years, I drank like a "normal" twenty-something. In the last year and a half, I have made many mistakes, including developing an addiction to cocaine, and I've hurt many people because of my drunkenness. Now I feel like I'm missing out on my adult life.
After several recent failed recovery attempts, I have decided that I want to learn how to enjoy life without altering my reality, or hiding behind myself. I know I must get outside help... I'm starting here. Today is my first day sober.
