So. I'm back again. It's been awhile and I've certainly returned with a sense of purpose. Some things happened that I won't get into, but that have resulted in a change for the better when it comes to the issues I've been struggling with for all these years. All in all, here I am again, cautiously optimistic. Here's to a healthier future, wish me luck!

I know all too well about those 2 issues. In my 20's and the beginning of 30's I was both. Read a book on Bulimia and it mentions antidepressants. Well went to doctor and started on them. For me it worked instantly. Took Zoloft. My urges stopped immediately and I was a 2 to 3 times a day Bulimic. It was just a horrible addiction. Drank a lot on top of that. I still drank too much but Bulimia urge was gone. Gained some weight but rather be a little bigger than have Bulimia. I'm now in my mid 60's, no urges with it and cut down drinking considerably. I think I just got bored with drinking plus too expensive. And really don't want to count those extra calories on Fat Secret! So hang in there, you really can do it and if you need antidepressants to help go on them. I don't know how Zoloft stops the urges in its tracks but it was a true lifesaving miracle for me. Good luck on journey. Take care of you first.

congratulations on your success!!
I struggle too with EDs, ana/mia in highschool/college/also popped up in times of stress. primarily binge eating once I got sober many years later, but reverted to the others in extreme stress. ive tried many different things to stop. Once i learned i had complex PTSD, my therapist requested I read thru and completed the work book The Glow Approach by Dr Lynn Shroyer. Life changing and very informative. my EDs are in remission thankfully. I have action plans in place to divert from binges/restrictions now.
I used to be on I Am Sober also!! it's a helpful app for the most part!

In my own adventure, if I'm not making much progress I like to tell others and believe it myself that I'm at least leaning forward.

I am so hesitant to respond, but just had to let you know there are many people here to support you. Bulimia is a deeply painful subject for me. I spent six weeks in a hospital trying to overcome it when I was 31. Much of that time I was the only man among about 3 dozen patients. Most of those women traced their bulimia or anorexia to trauma from men in their past. So, I spent much of my groups playing the whipping-post for people to overcome their issues by roll-play screaming at me. I think they felt comfortable enough to go through that with me because they deep down knew I was safe. They always thanked me later. I was ok until one day a therapist went off on me. The other therapists had to intervein. In a later meeting they told me I looked just like her ex-husband. This was near Hollywood so of course one of the doctors got the brilliant idea of taking us to a studio and filming a session of all that. Afterwords I wouldn't sign all the required releases. I was concerned it might be edited such that I looked like the real perpetrator. I'll never be in a training program for therapist/nurses on those issues, so I guess I'll never really know if they complied with my wishes. I was young, big and strong and had been through hell and back in my life so I thought I could take it all with no problem. But 34 years later I sometimes wonder if I'm not more PTSD from the hospital than from my previous life. I used weightlifting, running, rock climbing or any other extreme exercise I could think of to purge. Yes, I know, it's a weird man thing instead of regurgitating because it makes it really easy to believe I was being supper healthy rather than just tearing things up like my knees and such. We each have our own path. So, all of that is to overly explain that just because you don't see me respond to a bulimia/anorexia post very often is not because I don't sympathize or have great hopes for your recovery. Because I do. Deeply. 🫶
