I relapsed in January in my addiction and I’m just now picking up the pieces. I’m 30 days sober today

Sobered Up

My eating disorder is my addiction. I’m an addict and I have no control over my own ability to make decisions about what I eat and how to eat in a healthy and normal way. I starve myself and use laxatives. I realize it’s not a substance like a drug or alcohol but it’s definitely an addiction and laxatives are drugs to me. I am 30 days off laxatives and eating 2000 calories a day. It requires weekly therapy and psychiatric treatment as well to keep me in the right state of mind to seek help and admit I have no control over my eating addiction. I was living on 700 calories a day and laxing every other day for three months and I lost 45 pounds. I loved the attention I got from men after I started loosing weight. I got hooked. I’ve been active in my addiction three times. When I was 11-14 and when I was 24-26 and my recent relapse from 34-35 this January-April. I celebrate 30 days of sobriety and 30 meetings in 30 days . I realize not everyone needs meetings but I do. I wanted to share this because I don’t know if anyone else is in this subreddit and has an eating addiction? If there is anyone who is able to be a sobriety supporter I’d really appreciate it. I’m looking for sober supports online.
