God made me that I have this tendency to have addictive behaviors. I do what I need to do to make sure that I don't fall off the wagon, to make sure that I don't go back to those old ways, because satan would love it if I'd go back to that.
Imagine battling an eating disorder while trying to navigate the complexities of faith and recovery. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', hosts Bill Arnold and George Fraser delve into the importance of prayer in recovery, specifically focusing on Step 11, which involves seeking God's will and the strength to carry it out. Their guest, author and therapist Lee Wolf Blum, shares her deeply personal story of overcoming an eating disorder, offering listeners a blend of spiritual guidance and practical advice.
Blum's struggle began in college, where dieting became a coping mechanism for depression and low self-esteem. This soon escalated into a full-blown eating disorder, a condition particularly challenging because one cannot completely abstain from food. Her journey underscores the crucial role of hope in addiction recovery. As Blum poignantly states, 'nothing bad's ever going to happen to me', highlighting how those battling addiction often lose hope.
The conversation also touches on the cultural pressures that contribute to eating disorders and the significance of intuitive eating in the recovery process. Blum's insights reveal that 'you're born intuitive eating and it's a process to get back to that', emphasizing the challenging yet rewarding journey towards healing. This episode is not just about overcoming an eating disorder; it's about finding hope, faith, and the strength to persevere.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Blum's story offers a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and resilience.
