Greetings Alumni!
It is almost springtime! Can you feel the renewal in the air?
Tina and I had the opportunity to attend the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp) conference in Long Beach, CA this past month. It was inspiring to meet other people in the field and get new inspiration for helping people reclaim their lives from eating disorders. We met this vibrant woman named Shannon Cutts who recently published a book called "Beating Ana: How to Outsmart Your Eating Disorder and Take Your Life Back." Her tag line is "Relationships replace eating disorders." She states that mentoring saved her life. She created an online community for people in need of support to find a Mentor and for people who have made their way into recovery to continue their journey by becoming a Mentee. The website is called Mentor Connect, and I added a link to the community on the right hand side of this blog. This would be a great resource for the transition out of treatment to the "real world."
Are you all connected to other online support communities? Any that you find helpful? I could also add their links to this blog.
I would love to hear how folks are doing on their recovery journey on this Alumni page! Please post ;-)

I am hoping to attend, but would really like someone to ride with. I know that there are several people in the Columbia area who often attend the alumni events. Please contact me if you would be willing to share a ride to Brevard. mackechnierl@gmail.com
