Dear Abby i am one of those people who thought your frequent advice to get counselling was a cop out but now mat i am in recovery for bulimia i hold a new respect for counselling. I thought i was going in for some medical Miracle that would cure me. Instead i received intense group therapy. If someone had told me that my disease had psychological roots i never would have sought help. I was one of those people who thought counselling was admitting to being a failure. God works in mysterious ways. Bulimia a an abnormal constant craving for food a Isnit always what gets people into treatment but it was my Cue. My life is not perfect because i sought counselling but i have a new Outlook. I am getting out of my abusive marriage and seeking support groups. Abby i wish everyone could get counselling when they need it without the stigma so Many people attach to it. In recovery in Virginia dear in recovery Hooray for you and thanks for those kind words in defense of my frequent advice to get counselling. And lest anyone think that getting counselling is easy a its not it requires a Good hard look at oneself warts and All.
