Hey. I live in HOllywood. How far down in Miami do you live. Do you
work? There are some meetings I can turn you on to in South Broward
and I even have a meeting that I facilitate at Rebel's Drop In in
Hollywood on Wednesday nights at 5:30. I might change the meeting
time to later so more people can come.

I really needed to see a posting like yours today. I also am a
running addict. I have been in recovery for 5 months. That does not
mean I have never run in those five months, but that approach might
have been advisable. I stopped for 30 days, started again, kinda
overdid it, and stopped for 10, then stopped for 44 days straight,
went back to twice a week, and overdid it AGAIN! Initially, I WAS
running on an injury. My injury has gotten alot better, but still not
100%, and right now I realize that I have to completely STOP all over
again, and stay stopped for several months to even have a shot at
doing any other sports again. My joints need to be silent of that
impact in order to heal. This is what my internal voice tells me.

What I used to do was play tennis twice, 3 hours, and then go home
and run for an hour and a half. That way, I could experience the joy
of not having much of an appetite, and do things other than eat the
despised food that torments me so much. I'm EDNOS, an exercise
bulimic with an anorexic mindset. (until that wore off mid afternoon)
then I could use all of that calorie burning work to justify having
like 6 yogurts after dinner, or 5 granola bars. I never lost weight.
I found out through stopping those few times that I do better with
binge eating if I don't exercise at all. Of course, that is not the
final goal, but to exercise moderately.

Why don't you and I become buddies online? My email is
biszanta@.... Also, have you looked at the site MyEdHelp.com?
I have a blog on there called 'VS.' that has another email for me. I
would love to have you as a buddy, and I would love to tell you more
about the treatment options I chose here locally and am still
involved with. Do you work? What do you think about treatment? Would
you be open to looking at an outpatient program in Hollywood? That's
what I did, and am still looking at doing more of.
