Keep in mind that I'm 23 years into my recovery process ...
1. If I didn't want to go, I wouldn't.
2. If I did want to go, I would.
3. I'd be myself.
Oh, and about this "certain family member" that's been causing me shame and embarrassment about my food issues? ... When I got through humiliating the hell out of them in front of God and everybody else today, they'd NEVER even think it okay to make a comment to me or anybody else about my food issues EVER again! ... Let them experience what embarrassment and shame feels like for once in their life and see how they like it!
Sincerely,
Pfrog!
