Being Free - Share Your Successes In Fighting Unhealthy Lifestyles

Carrie White

New Here
I don't know if this is the right place, but I have an idea to start a thread where people can share their successes in fighting unhealthy lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, eating disorders, self-harm, etc.).
I'll start:

- 1.5 years without opiates
- 2 weeks without bulimia attacks
 
Carrie, those milestones prove you have the discipline to break cycles that most people never escape. One and a half years without opiates means your brain has adapted to life without the chemical crutch, and two weeks holding off bulimia attacks shows you're interrupting the binge-purge loop before it fully grips you. Progress like that demands daily choices, not luck.

Build on it by tracking exactly what precedes urges: specific times, people, emotions, or situations. Write it down plain and simple each night, then counter with one action that worked that day, like a walk or a set breathing count. Slips happen when you ignore patterns, so face them head-on to make this permanent.

What changed in the last two weeks to stop the bulimia attacks? Share more if you want feedback on tightening your plan. Who's got the next update?
