A really inspiring post @mandyteacup and you should be extremely proud of your achievement. I think you're definitely on the right track and to have realised the problem so early inlife rather than suffering years more self abuse is a really good sign. It should give you strength to carry on and I'm sure you'll get lots more support from everyone here on steemit.
I look forward to following your progress and supporting you if needed my friend.
Hope you are having a great day. :)
Thank you for your kind words @tonyr
I am grateful to have gained some sort of control early on, before I really hurt myself.
