Need some support.

For the last year and half or so, I've been struggling with my binge eating addiction. I am trying over and over to recover. I am seeing a therapist, and had 5 sessions or so..so far, and feels like its not helping. I'm trying to give it more of a chance.

This is one thought and emotion that came up today during an urge I had.

"It's tough when you have a serious binge eating addiction. It'd tiring enough fighting them, and giving in half of the time. I want to have success, I want to have losses..and yes, I am jealous like some MFP members are and I am admitting it to myself rather then lashing out..I want success too..I want to recover. "

If anyone is struggling and is the same boat..please..feel free to add me.

This is an issue I have struggled with as well, and I think unlike some behaviors (for instance, gambling) where people can avoid triggers, binge eating is very hard to control since we can't avoid food altogether. It is something that I think some of us will always deal with, but that doesn't mean we can't work toward controlling it and recovering from the problem behaviors. Best wishes to you and many kudos for taking steps to address this issue. xx
