December's Theme: SUPPORT

A common theme in this month's Alumni Support Group was the idea that support is an essential factor in the recovery process. And this means support of all kinds... friends, family, chosen family, support groups, professionals... the more supports the better. We all know that this idea takes people out of isolation, which the eating disorder thrives on, and brings us in to community, which mirrors to us our true identity.

So go out and get some support! For those is the Asheville area, don't forget there are several FREE opportunities for support during the week:

Monday nights: EDA at the Unitarian Church in Asheville 6-7pm
Tuesday nights: Yoga for Revitalization at THE Center (sliding scale $5-$10)
Wednesday nights: Adult Support Group at THE Center 7-8pm

Hope everyone has a vibrant holiday season.

Next Alumni Support Group: Sunday, January 4th, 4:00-5:30pm

Life

I am once again at a major transition point in my life and I know that in the past I was always tempted to revert to ed behaviors during this time. I was hoping that I could get some ideas from people about how to create structure in my life as well as maintain recovery. I am in a great place in my life and I would love to be able to continue to experience it!

It was so nice to see everyone at the Alumni group.
