And I got down to 105 pounds and was threatened with hospitalization. I'm still not a big eater, but I try to eat regularly and take vitamins as suggested by my doctor. And then tonight I had dinner with AA friends, ate more than usual - and I brought desserts. As you said, nothing works like meetings, learning to realize it's not just you, and hearing from others with similar stories and what they did to achieve recovery. And, like you, I have also made some great friends in AA. And what anyone chooses to believe is up to the individual. A few I know are religious, most are not. And though I went to my first meeting in 2008, I still go regularly, lead a meeting on Mondays - since I can't forget and it's now up to me to reach out to others as my sponsor reached out to me.
