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.

Hi Robynn -
Like you I am in a major transition time. My appeal was denied so I am having to start a new dream. It is so hard to not resort to ED behaviors. They are comfortable. But they are also dangerous and they threaten the essence of our lives. I can't get anywhere if I resort to ED behavior. I'm trying to rely on support through EDA, my friends and family. I have a sponsor in EDA and I have recently started calling her more frequently as well as IMing her when she is online. She advised me to stay in the present and not to focus too much on the past or future - all we have to do is get through the next 24 hours (or the next hour depending on where you are). I know that you are familiar w/12 step so I know that you have heard this. So have I but I am trying to really live it. I can't control that I was terminated from graduate school but I can control how I react to it. That has been said to me so many times that I am sick of it but I know it is true. I think that you have within you the coping skills to deal with this transition time. You just have to access them. Don't forget to let yourself feel any emotions that come up. When I start shutting down I am so much more likely to engage in ED behavior.
It was good to see you at the alumnae meeting. Hope to see you again.
