Is anybody interested in starting an accountability partner relationship through this site? I know this is not the best solution by far and a real-life partner is preferable. However, I believe it would still be helpful for me (it has been in the past) and is better than nothing. The way I see it is: even though you might know that eating a balanced diet with all the food groups represented in it is ideal, if the only thing you have to eat is bread and you are starving to death, the bread will save you in the near term while you sort things out. Does this make sense? I feel like there's nobody I can turn to in my life with my problem right now, so if someone is in the same situation as I and feels like this could be helpful in their recovery, please let me know (you can PM me).
I was doing real well for a while, but now I'm in binge mode again, which I absolutely hate!!! Hope you are doing much better than I.
God bless,

Xyyz, I have had some contact with a ministry based in California, particularly in the southern California area. I read Dave Zailer's book and he seems like a really solid Christian recovery guy. From what I read, they have groups out there.
Here's their web site: http://operationintegrity.com/
Check 'em out. Honestly, I think you should venture out and meet Dave.

Hi Steve,
Once again, thank you for your help and suggestions. I am a little confused about your last post: are you suggesting meeting Dave through email or telephone, or actually going to meet him in person? The thing is, I'm not in California, so venturing out there to meet him might not be possible.
I'm hitting rock bottom again and can't regain control... I truly do not want to hurt those close to me, but I am getting really desperate and am starting to realize I can't do this alone.
Thanks again,
Xyyz

xyz, been there, done that... I hate to bring it up, but have you already told your wife (if married), or other close individual? I kept putting it off, since I knew it would be mega-painful for her and for me, but it's the only thing that's been very much help in keeping me on an upward trail... Best to you in any case, and I'm saying a prayer for you.
