What do I do.....Where do  I turn....I've heard all the ****....don't have the money for the REAL treatment. what do i do?


This discussion is related to What can I replace my binge eating and alcoholism with?.

A good place to start is the twelve step program; AA and OA. There you will find people who know and understand what you are going through and can provide support to get recovery. One day at a time, as the saying goes.

OA and AA are the best way to go, theyre free and provide you with a support system of people who have either been through it or are going through it and you can talk to them and be honest!

ditto that!  I used to be both and I used to beat myself everyday for it.  Both severely dehydrate you, so it's a hard attack on your body.  AA is a good place to start.  Stick with the girls though!  Don't get mixed up with any guys unless they've been through what you've been through.  Turns out I was bipolar and was self-medicating.  I suggest going to a doctor and or psychiatrist referral would be a great help too.   Be completely honest about everything with the drs. though so they know physically how much damage is done.  Keep us updated!   xoxo
