In my opinion it is never really over. You may always have to watch yourself so you don't fall back into old habits. You might always think about it when your sick that at one time that would lead to going back to an ED. I hope that it is over someday, but I think it is important to be okay with it if it isn't. It will get easier. And when you get into a really really sressful situation later in life it wouldn't surprise me if you want to resor to an ED again, but that doesn't mean you will. Just because this once completely consumed our lives doesn't mean we will let it again... it is possible to never go back.

I wish I could tell you it will all go away, but I'm sorry, our memories don't just leave like that. We can fight though. And someday, hopefully we won't have to fight at all, or at least not very hard.

I hope things get better for you and I hope this gave you some hope. It is so hard to fight these addictions when we feel like there is no hope of ever moving past it; but I know there is hope of that.
