That’s true…for some. And of those ‘some’ I am skeptical. The “recovery rate” for bulimia is 50%. Let’s talk about that. If -you- are a raging bulimic, and -I- am a raging bulimic, then best case scenario, -one- of us will never get better. One of us will say that they are. Here’s what kind of cracks me up about that statistic anyway: bulimics are liars. Okay, no one start yelling at me yet, it’s a bold statement, I realize. But it’s true for me, I am a total liar to everyone concerning my disorder, even myself. I’ll lie about anything to anyone if it keeps my secret, my shameful addiction, safe. I know that if I got caught and was forced into treatment, I would “fully recover” damn fucking quick. I would want to try and do the program, and apply it to my life. But ultimately, out of fear, I would lie. Lie the best I ever have. I would do whatever I had to to get people off my back and so I could be back into my secret world again. Oh yes. I would be so fully recovered. You would not believe how sneaky we can be. Because bulimia is an ADDICTION, one so powerful I cannot imagine my life without it. And I hate bulimia. I’d love to meet someone who is truly fully recovered…and actually really faced it to begin with. Thanks for the question.
