How do you overcome laxative abuse/addiction?!
Question: How do you overcome laxative abuse/addiction!?
I've had an eating disorder for over 5 years and everytime I eat a meal or binge, I have to empty my stomach with laxatives!. The doses gradually built up overtime and now I take up to 30 laxatives!. That's a whole box of dulcolax!. I've had my gallbladder removed at the age of 19 because I have damaged my body!. Even that didn't stop me or shock me from stopping with the laxatives!. I'm in therapy and I'm on medication!. It helps with depression but I can't stop the obsessions I have with my body image and weight and food!.
I won't leave the house unless I have an empty stomach!.
I want to ask how any of you who are in recovery or who have been in a similar situation to mine for advice in quitting!? Tell me what it took, please!. I'm sick of myself!.!. but I still keep doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
