A member asked:
Have had bulimia for about 6 months now and i really want to stop, but i can't. what can i do?

Wanting to stop...: Wanting to stop is a crucial part of recovery. Recognize that bulimia is doing something for you, as well as hurting you. It's a way of coping with conflicts and emotions. When you identify what you are using bulimia to cope with (ie, anxiety,fear, relationships) then you can find new ways of coping. You also must learn to respond to yourself in words instead of behavior.
