When a bulimic relapses it's about as 
glorious as a heroin addict relapsing.  The bathroom floor is about as 
fantastic as an alley or abandoned house.  The toilet is about as 
clean as a pre-used needle.  In both cases, fingers, 
man's tools, being used against him.  But then there's NA and if a drug addict can swallow pride and ask for help, they have a place to go where people understand their struggle.  All I have is an empty, dark dorm room.  The tears, they too come from the same place of
 shame.
I thought that being in a new environment would not shock me back into this but it has.
I woke up with a stomach that was completely empty, burning, aching, feeling twisted and knotted.  I'm so afraid to eat, to feel food in my stomach because I don't know what I'll do this time.  This is all I can stomach for now:

Clean, simple, light on the stomach.

Bite by bite, I try to trust myself again.
I don't have NA or AA.  I have this blog.  This is my confession, my guilt.
