Step One

The Struggle is Real

Walking A Thin Line

It's hard to admit that I put so much over what should have been so important to me.

It's also hard to distinguish fantasy from reality.

I want so much to be stress free and happy.

I guess it's just not my destiny.

Instead I am forever a slave to society.

I am so thankful.

The damage I do to my body every time I binge.

I've made so many mistakes, it's hard to believe that I've already been forgiven.

I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

Waiting for a window to open, much less a door

So I can begin to restore

broken relationships that hurt me to my core. have mercy on me now that the healing has begun.

I'll never make it to step 12 if I can't make it past step ONE...
