9. What are the benefits of recovery? The drawbacks? Let's be honest here -- if there weren't benefits to EDs, we wouldn't be posting here, right? So, what are the drawbacks of recovery?
This question made me think. The benefits of recovery to me are that when it works right, I no longer think about my food intake all the time and that releases energy that I can use elsewhere in my life.
The drawbacks? Well, What do I replace it with? How do I cope effectively w/o resorting to another self-destructive behavior? Otherwise I'm just replacing one w/the other.
For me, resolving the core issues in my life is the only thing that's going to "fix" me.
