I’m trying every day to face myself. The results vary, but the attempts are consistent.

This quote is taken from Chapter 82, as Jennette reflects on the difference between her own attempts to recover from bulimia and her boyfriend Steven’s attempts to deal with his schizophrenia diagnosis. Steven is self-medicating with marijuana in an effort to numb himself from life. While Jennette understands Steven’s motivations perfectly, she is no longer at the stage where she wants to avoid hard truths and deny her problems. She has reached a point in her recovery where she is prepared to confront her mistakes head-on. Every day, she wakes up determined to make some progress toward healing.
