Eating disorders, part 1

Over the course of the last few years, I've gotten a number of requests to talk about how I got over my bulimia. I've always shied away from that conversation because while I know how I learned to stop taking wine to bed and get through my life without being stoned, I still don't know how it is that I came to stop using toothbrushes to empty entire grocery bags of food from my stomach into my studio apartment toilet.

But I did. I learned how to do that. And this article and some others that will follow are my attempt to explain what happened to me, and how I recovered from it. Please note that it's graphic, and that there might be some triggering language.
