1. Follow Directions, gain sobriety.

What I’ve learned: 1. Following Directions

Following Directions given by my Sponsor and therapist has been one of the biggest factors for me in finding sobriety from the eating disorder. I recently let my therapist, sponsor, and new nutritionist know that I am putting my full trust in them to get me to a healthy place. That is hard. That is hard for anyone but add on control issues, trust issues, trauma, loss etc. it’s no joke. I have spent eight months in the EDA/ABA fellowship. I’ve worked ten of the twelve steps.
I have kicked and screamed while smiling and saying thank you then cursing them under my breath.

Advice: Trust is following directions without hesitation. Trust is hard; but if you are willing to trust someone other then yourself you can recover, you can stay sober.

“WHEN all else fails, follow directions”

I would not be sober if it weren’t for the willingness to follow the direction of my sponsor.

I would not be sober if I did not admit I was powerless to my eating disorder and that my life indeed had become unmanageable.
