Those who have learned by experience
what physical and emotional pain and anguish mean
are a community all over the world. They are united by a secret bond.
One and all, they know the horrors of suffering to which mankind can be subjected.
One and all, they know the longing to be free from pain.

Albert Schweitzer




Whether we isolate or are on the go constantly, whether we're in the disease or out of it, whether we've found all the Promises or we haven't, we are bonded for a lifetime by the disease of compulsive eating.

I was alone until I found other compulsive eaters. Yes, I had a family and friends and relatives and doctors and church and careers ... but I was emotionally alone with this intricate, enigmatic, hellhole of a disease. The moment I met and connected with other compulsive eaters, my "real" life began.

One Day at a Time . . .
I share what I have learned with those who haven't ...
I give what I have to give ... and get so much more.
