I have an injury and my doctor prescribed some painkillers, the problem is i have been addicted to them in the past. when i take them i crave food, then i eat to much and purge, and the cycle starts. Tomorrow i will not take any pills and I will not b/p. Im making some huge changes in my life and cant afford to backslide right now. Im moving to go to school in paradise! Two and a half months! I have to save up money and work on getting over this problem fully and completly! I just finally left a very abusive relationship, that took alot of strength. He was supporting me financially and its really scary to be on my own, I want to go back to Jesus and be celebate and not do drugs, drink or b/p. All my vices. i know I can do it with the help of Our Lord! Thanks for reading!

That's awesome! I completely relate to the temptation of using mind altering drugs to "forget" about bingeing. I have abused painkillers myself, as well as ambien and marijuana, to induce binges whether or not I'm conscious of that decision. My advice is to have someone you love hold on to the prescription or at least tell someone around you that you are struggling to reduce the urge to misuse the painkillers. Even finding an OA or AA meeting to go to might help with your decision to be sober. Substance abuse and eating disorders have a sick relationship. If it's not one it's the other...at least that's been the case for me. This disease is NOT rational and will definitely make you do things you'll regret. Praying to God is a big crutch for me as well. I actually just started talking to God about my recovery only a few days ago and honestly sitting down by myself, meditating on the Lord's prayer really did clear my head. I just cried and cried and gave all of my problems to him knowing that I am in his care. God is graceful and merciful and wants to see us succeed, not fail! Best of luck!
Every day is a day in recovery.
You are very brave to have done everything you have! I'm proud that you have left that relationship.. you shouldn't have to endure that at all.
For your pain, you can always go to a health food store, or a naturopath. They will likely give you natural alternatives/teas to decrease the pain. I'm not sure what kind of pain it is.. but there's always potential for physiotheriapy, accupuncture, chiropracting too?
Good for you!! You are doing very well! :)
I am proud of you for seeking help! I know it took a lot of courage to leave your boyfriend too. No one deserves to be treated like that! I have now made it 3 weeks without purging but only because I depending on God! I always try to do it in my own strength and it may work for a short time but never long term. Then I end up even more messed up! We all need to depend on God to be our strength because this is the only way we will get through this night mare! Keep working hard and depending on God to bring you through this!
