What is something you've learned from recovery?
I'll start off, something that I've learned is that is ok to relapse, relapse is part of recovery. Its how we pick ourselves up from the relapse and we learn something from that time.

Well, I've learnt a lot, but due to recovery, I realized that the lines "Everything happens for a reason" is in fact true. If it weren't for going through an eating disorder myself, I would have never had that experience to assist others who struggle with an eating disorder. ^_^ This is why I'm here, today.. on 7 Cups trying my best to assist people in need of a listening ear. Also, I learnt something from this quote I found during recover "Your emotions and feelings are there to be felt not to be pushed away. Talk to them, welcome them, but choose not to punish their existence." Every time I had felt guilt, worthlessness, helpless, and like a failure, I would try to punish their existence by inflicting pain on myself, but gradually the approach of treating myself turned from harsh judgments into kindness.
