"Inner Harvest" Hazelden Meditation Series It is unrealistic to expect a permanent high. Recovery from an eating disorder does not guarantee a pink-cloud existence. We still have days when we wake up with a flat, "blah" feeling that persists in spite of efforts to shake it. For most of us, searching for a high was part of our problem with food. Whether we got high from bingeing or from starving, we were trying to alter our mood. Now that we're in recovery, we can give ourselves permission to feel less than elated. We can remember how depressed we felt when our eating behavior was on the crazy side, and we can appreciate how much better our down days are now. Many of us agree that our worst days now are better than our best days then. When our mood is less than exuberant, we can accept that fact without trying to manipulate our feelings with food. We no longer strive to be perpetually up. Level is fine, and downs can be tolerated with the help of our expanding inner resources. * I don't expect to be high all day today. I will let my moods ebb and flow freely. |
