thoughts about plumbing...

Ok, first things first-please read our info pages before you read our posts

we are not mocking in any way. We are a group of people who have lived through, or are in recovery form eating disorders. And there are a lot of things that noone will ever tell you about eating disorders.

and we thought that it was about time that changed.

so today, i thought id sopend a few minutes thinking about plumbing. I dont mean yours, I mean the plumbing in your house. Your plumbing was not designed to cope with the contents of your fridge, in its original food form.FACT. therefore, be aware that you should really find yourself a good plumber. I suffer with bulimia. And have yet to find anything that discusses the practicalities of recovery, and suffering with the illness. And this IS a problem. I've had plumbers out a lot of times in the last couple of years. Blocked pipes makes everything-sinks showers, toilets-EVERYTHING back up. you know you have issues when your shower turns into a bath.

I also know someone who purged a lot, and the acid from the vomit corroded the pipes in their house-something their parents could nevr get their head around.

All i can say is this-liberal amounts a thick bleach down all your plugholes, toilets etc will help.

I'm not advocating purging. Again, i shall re-iterate that this is a blog about the practicalities of recovery.

take care xxxx
