I have binge-eating disorder. After living with this since childhood, I've finally realized that this is MY life, and I'm responsible for how I live it. I've hit rock bottom as an addict, the same way an alcoholic does before seeking recovery. I am on this new path for ME, not for anyone else. It's MY health, MY sanity and the rest of MY life. It's the story of finding recovery without using food to numb my emotions through dark times. Until I die, I will never be cured; I will still be in recovery. Through the wonderful folk at Maple Grove United Church, I have a wonderful tool that is helping to turn the odds in my favour. I was literally dying in my mid-50s when these people threw me a lifeline. I do not have the words to express my gratitude. I can only live up to their great gift.
