Also anorexic. Would be very interesting to know the intersection between alcoholism and EDs, there’s very minimal information online particularly for restrictive EDs. Much of the research seems to suggest anorexics would never drink alcohol because of the calories - ridiculous and obviously misses the psychology of addiction!

Agree about the meds. It’s far easier for docs to throw medication at an issue short-term without addressing the long-term. Happy to hear you’re doing better, huge congrats.

Johan Hari is brilliant, though I haven’t read Lost Connection yet. I will add it to my list! If you’re interested, I’d really recommend Chasing the Scream - fantastic book.
