I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it,for I shall not pass this way again. -Stephan G. Rellet

Abandoned Beliefs is my offering to those suffering with anorexia. It is my sincere hope that sharing my recovery experience will lend support to those who seek it. Recovery is a process that often feels unbearable; I acknowledge this. However, the torture of anorexia is equally unbearable. The difference is this: Struggling through recovery yields gifts- the discovery of self, peace and contentment. Anorexia's only offering is imprisonment and death--of heart, of soul, of self. There is an incredible sense of peace and freedom awaiting those who bravely endure the trials of recovery. I know, for peace fills my life each day--I am free!

Whether you are beginning or are in the midst of your journey, I wish you success in discovering your sense of self and acquiring the knowledge that you are a special, lovable human being deserving of happiness. I wish you freedom.
