The Road to Recovery

One girl's struggle with alcoholism, anorexia and depression

Deathly thin

My mom’s sister died of cancer a long time ago, when I was just a baby. Before she died, she got really thin. My mom told me once that my anorexic body reminded her of her sister right before she died. That broke my heart. I didn’t want to remind her of her sister who passed away from cancer too soon, and all the pain it caused her.
