I did Renfew in 2013, off and on for 12 months. Knowing what I know, I want to break every bone of Hank's smarmy self at least twice, then grind his broken bits into dust then kick that dust into a stiff breeze as we dance and scream together in victory.<br /><br />I've had my assortment of eds and other stuff for over 35 years, since I was a baby just like you. It was my greatest enemy and my very best friend, the only "person" I would lie and cheat for. I relapsed so many times. <br /><br />For the very first time in my 38 year life, after hours and hours of intense therapy, by whole teams of specialists, Ed isn't in my head any more. He's in a pillow. :) He jumped back in awhile back when a close family member passed away, but he's back in his pillow again.<br /><br />When it's that ingrained, when it's all we've known... it seems impossible to loosen the hold. I'm a living testimony it's not impossible. Your healing is possible. I'm praying for you!Maryalicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963733760359755862.post-30725600270640741182015-01-14T09:01:57.531-05:002015-01-14T09:01:57.531-05:00Words fail to accurately describe how much this pa...Words fail to accurately describe how much this particular blog meant to me. I've read it several times now and am still in awe of your bravery and yet not surprised at all. I've always seen a tremendous amount of strength and vitality in you. Keep talking!
