to the op who says there can be no success story, in a way, I agree with her side too. I mean -- who the hell is an official success story? We as humans are success stories if we are ALIVE (and especially after all the crap we live through, at least some of us, me for sure.) I guess recovery is possible, and living with it is possible -- not being incredibly sick is possible. Sure starting over is NOT possible and remaining completely untouched is unlikely so with that, I agree. The abuse and bullying and eating disorder stuff that I have been through, just surviving is a success in a way.
