And your kind words
I'm still thinking about my blog
But one thing is for sure
I will not be going anywhere
And I will continue to blog
I guess it makes sense really
They I am struggling to find my blog voice again
The last six months have been a whirlwind
I almost feel like I have been carried this far
My feet barely touching the ground
There has been a lot of change recently
And a lot of growth
This is all good
And it feels amazing to have come this far
I'm sure you have noticed that I am not writing much about my ED or addiction recently
There just hasn't been anything to report
I'm taking my meds correctly
I'm eating my meals and snacks
And rarely purging
I guess I am moving on
And letting go of some of the crutches that have held me up this far
So I've been thinking
I probably won't post every day
I remember when I first started blogging
I used to blog Monday, Wednesday and Friday
So I'm thinking I will go back to that pattern
My blog will about life after ED and addiction
Rather than life with it
Because in guessing there will be a whole adjustment period
Becoming accustomed to real life
With no vices to fall back on
It will just be me
Ruby
Stripped back
Raw
With all the ups and downs of life in recovery
It makes perfect sense really
I was wondering what I would write about
And of course recovery is what I will write about
Because that's what I am living
It's what I know
So
I'm sticking around
I'm still going to continue to raise awareness about eating disorders
Still strive for recovery
For others and myself
Still going fight for a better life
Are you with me??
every step of the way Ruby xx you know us!

PS it will be very good for some followers to see recovery in action.
I think so too Shelby
DeleteI feel like it was important to document my illness
And it's even more important to document my recovery x
DAMN STRAIGHT YOU'RE STICKING AROUND.
ReplyDeleteYou've built a home here, and we're all your neighbours. No matter what you're doing or writing about, we'll all still check in to read about it. I'm so glad to hear you've cut down on the purging, and I can't wait until the day you start posting about being purge free. (And I know you will. You've come this far, you can still go farther.) And after that, I'll be just as happy to read about your job, or your horseback riding. Or whatever else you want to tell us about.
You always have a thoughtful and interesting perspective on things, no matter what subject matter you choose for a blog post. So whether you write about recovery or your job or a new boyfriend or your dogs or anything else at all, I'll still be here reading. :)
I'll be in Ireland next when I win the lotto, unfortunately. Or if this country goes to the dogs during the upcoming election, in which case I'll be cashing in my Irish citizenship and getting me and the kitties the eff out of here. A few cousins said they'd take us in until I can get settled. Several of them have suggested I get knocked up so I can go on the dole and get one of the nice council houses in Achill....
Aw Mich
DeleteYou are a sweetie
You really are
Thank you for those lovely words
Ha!
I am going to continue hoping that you come to visit this part of the world at some point
I think we would have a blast!!
We could do so much cool stuff
And you could come horse riding with me
How awesome would that be?? X
My dear, I'm so glad you are staying. I've missed you to bits and it's SO lovely for me to come back to news that you are doing so amazingly. I second everything that Mich has said, you are an insightful and interesting person to read and get to know. I'd read everything you choose to put out there. Love you to bits my dear and take care xx Mandy
