“I think nostalgia of the disease is perhaps one of the biggest problems affecting those in recovery.
Instead of remembering all of the family functions, dinners with friends, or possible dates you skipped, you romanticize your control, your hunger, and your socially acceptable suicide. We should treat these thoughts like fire: they are quick to spread and even quicker to destroy any progress. In recovery, we must guard ourselves from unhealthy nonsense and stay firm in reality.”
