I had a slip tonight. I binged and purged. I feel like a failure. I don’t plan to stay stuck in this slip, but it still feels like I’ve failed.
On the bright side, I dyed my hair blue today. It looks great.

Not a failure. Just human. You see your actions for what they are. A slip.

It happens. I slipped at times, too. It is part of learning this thing called recovery. It does not make you a failure.
Way cool with the blue hair!!! I had mine pink last year. I may do it again.

It’s not about success or failure, winning or losing. It’s about what I learn when I return to self-harming behaviors. What was going on with me at the time? And what can I do differently the next time? Today I have a choice.

You’re not a failure. The fact you recognised you slipped shows your strength X

It’s not a failure it’s a setback. Remember with us Ed folks, two steps forward, one step back. It’s our pattern. But we still are moving forward. It’s a glitch and it’s how you react that shows you’ve change!!! You are strong and will move past it I believe in you!!

Oh boy, I can’t even count the number of slips I had while trying to quit smoking. I am now 11 months smoke free. It happens to all of us.

With every slip you learn a lesson and you’ll know more about yourself next time you feel the urge to slip.
