What
People Are Saying About You Are Not Alone, Volume 2:
"Truly inspiring"
"To
know that others have struggled just as much, and that they cannot 'only' survive,
but thrive and live a better life, is truly inspiring."
Ashley, from BC, Canada, is
in recovery from anorexia She encourages others to find their voice, and
never give up on themselves
"Don't give
up five minutes before the miracle!"
"This is a powerful
collection of hopes, dreams, despair… and victories! They are all war stories,
written by survivors. Thank you to Andrea and to each of the people who share
their journeys with eating disorders. I started this book and read it all the
way through. It reminded me of so many of the stages that I went through for
thirty years, struggling with my eating disorder all alone. Back then, no one
talked about it, and I had no role models to know that recovery is even possible!
Well, now I am living proof that it is… and that life can be fabulous once you
give up "Perfect!" If you or someone you know needs help, please speak up and
tell someone. Don't settle for less than wonderful in your life. And don't
give up five minutes before the miracle!"
Barbara Niven. Actress, Speaker, Coach, and Eating
Disorder Victim turned Warrior www.barbaraniven.com
"There is
Hope"
"Andrea is a voice of Hope for so many in the barren
wilderness of the bondage of an eating disorder. Read these stories and be encouraged;
you will see thejourney of healing can be made! Andrea brings us
all together so we remember we are not alone. There is Hope."
Gregory L. Jantz, Ph.D., CEDS. Bestselling Author, Speaker,
Therapist, and Founder of The Center for Counseling and Health Resources www.aplaceofhope.com
"I am not
alone"
"I believe many people suffering with eating disorders
ask one question in common: 'If Recovery is Possible.' Seeking an answer is somehow
easier than taking the necessary steps towards recovery! Over the last four years
I have been a constant reader of Andrea Roe's work! Her writing and knowledge
of Anorexia, Bulimia and other associated eating disorders are not only useful
but also inspirational. Now with Andrea's second book You Are Not Alone, Volume
2, comes more inspirational readings; perfect for anyone suffering, recovering,
or supporting someone with an eating disorder. I personally recommend Andrea
Roe's work, as she has been a shining star in my own personal battle with Anorexia.
Andrea, I am forever grateful to you for helping me find the right path
on my road to recovery and reminding me that I am, in fact, Not alone!!"
Kara, 20, from Australia, is in recovery from
anorexia
"Eating disorders
can be beaten"
"You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, is another
healing dose of comfort to all those struggling with eating disorders. It provides
readers with inspiration and hope for recovery, even from the darkest places.
The stories give readers a chance to relate to those who completely understand
what it is like to fight an eating disorder every single day. Most importantly,
this book sends out the message that eating disorders can be beaten and there
is always support available to win the fight!"
Danielle, from PA, is in recovery from eating disorders She
is learning to take things one day at a time and lives by the quote: "Just when
the caterpillar thought the world was over... it became a butterfly"
"This book and CD should be in every
treatment center"
"Andrea Roe's Volume 2 of You
Are Not Alone and CD companion is a wonderful gift to everyone who has ever
encountered, suffered, and recovered from an eating disorder. Through music, prose,
and poetry this book and CD give all suffering with eating disorders inspiration
and clarity to seek recovery. As a person who has struggled and recovered
with an eating disorder, reading this book inspired me to become more aware of
my own recovery. Andrea Roe's book gives many different voices to eating disorders
and this book and CD will make those who are in the midst of struggling know 'They
are not alone.' This book and CD should be in every treatment center."
Stacey Prussman. Comedian, Actress, Speaker, and Eating
Disorder Advocate www.staceyprussman.com
"Written
proof that eating disorders can and will be beaten"
"This
book is formed by truly inspirational 'artists' in their own right. Whether it
be through a story, poem, visual art and/or music, You Are Not Alone, Volume
2, conveys its message throughout. This reassuring and comforting,
'real life' book reaches out to all those battling with, and in recovery from,
an eating disorder, reminding them that there are other people in this world who
are experiencing similar struggles and that they ARE NOT ALONE! Messages
of joy shine throughout this book, providing its readers with inspiration and
hope to begin/continue along their path to recovery --within it is written
proof that eating disorders can and will be beaten and that RECOVERY is POSSIBLE!"
Stephanie, a student from North Wales, UK, is
in strong recovery from an eating disorder
"This book
is a safe place"
"It really touches my heart to know that
I am not the only one fighting with my recovery from an eating disorder.
You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, also gave me new hope and courage to keep
on with my recovery. This book is a safe place you can come to when you are having
an awful day, one of those days of fighting your eating disorder."
Carly,
26, from Atlanta, Georgia, is in recovery from bulimia and binge eating
"Darkness of this terrible
disease can be turned into a life filled with freedom and love"
"Andrea
Roe's You Are Not Alone, Volume 2 is a book filled with compassion, hope,
dreams, desires, honesty and motivation. The stories, poems, artwork and music
envelop the reader and carry them into the heart and soul of each individual.
This book shows us that the darkness of this terrible disease can be turned
into a life filled with freedom and love. It shows us recovery IS possible
and all of us can get there."
"These stories
give hope to those who are struggling"
"I was truly
inspired by the women who had the courage to share their stories in You are
Not Alone, Volume 2. In sharing their journey to recovery, these stories give
hope to those who are struggling and serve as an important reminder of the
incredible strength that can be found in recovery."
"I cannot
say enough about how this book has helped me."
"Andrea
Roe's book, You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, is all inspiring, ever helping
us to remember we are truly not alone in fighting whatever eating disorder
we may struggle with or even have overcome. The book is a collection of different
writings and art from people going through the same struggles. It gives me
hope when I'm struggling, to hear how others were able to overcomes their disorder.
I know for me to hear from others' hearts who have gone through the same things
and some who have overcome gives me hope, and I can pick up and read when I
feel no one could possibly understand what I'm going through.
Each
writing is so precious, and there's something for everyone with some that
will touch a very strong cord in you. As you flip through the pages, the more
you can see how eating disorders, self-injury, etc. had tried to steal our voice
that we had had all along. Once we are able to let go of whatever destructive
pattern we have going on in our life, then the true healing begins. We may
find joy we have never felt before, maybe actually just 'feel' for the first time
or in a long time.
The book also comes with a CD full of songs that
are healing for the mind as well as the soul.
I cannot say enough
about how this book has helped me. It takes you through the ups and downs
of individuals' struggles, but leaves you with a feeling of hope that not only
are you not alone, but that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I think it would be awesome if there were more things out there like this,
instead of things that are only going to hurt us or break us down (i.e. some magazines
and television shows). All the best to everyone who contributed to make this book
possible. My hope is everyone who picks this up and reads it will be blessed
as I have, to continue in recovery or to get help if needed."
Jana, Singer, Songwriter, Poetry Writer and Eating
Disorder Advocate in her twenties from Alabama
"I recommend
it!"
"One of the major barriers to recovery from eating
problems is loss of hope. This book will inspire you to overcome your eating
problems no matter whether you're only contemplating beginning the work, have
just started, or are in the midst of transformation. I recommend it!"
Karen R. Koenig. LCSW, M.ED, Author of The Rules
of "Normal" Eating and The Food and Feelings Workbook and

"For disordered eating therapists, both
of these volumes would be useful therapeutic tools"
Disordered
eating is a journey into isolation, shame, fear, discouragement and a host of
other negative spheres. However, there is hope, freedom and joy are possible.
Andrea
Roe, the author of You Are Not Alone, Volumes I and II, created a collection of
stories from various people who once suffered from disordered eating. Through
the stories, poems and artwork, the reader catches a glimpse inside the psyche
and emotional realms of disordered eating sufferers before and during recovery.
These
books are fantastic resources for family and friends of a disordered eating sufferer,
if they wish to gain insight into the dynamics of the oppressor.
For
disordered eating therapists, both of these volumes would be useful therapeutic
tools. For the therapists seeking information regarding eating disorders,
these are valuable additions to the counseling library. An excellent companion
CD produced by Shannon Cutts is available with the second volume.
I find
it comforting to know that despite the tyranny of an eating disorder, there
is hope, and recovery is most definitely available to the sufferers who wish to
pursue it. Recovery from eating disorders, like recovery from substance and
alcohol abuse does not come easily. There is work involved, and sometimes scary
work as issues, sometimes painful issues are addressed and processed.
As
a former substance abuse counselor who loved to collect books about any issue
relative to substance abuse, if I were still doing counseling, both of Andrea's
books would be in my library. I would use them not only to educate myself,
but as therapeutic tools for my clients. These are excellent resources.
Jeannie D. Former
Substance Abuse Counselor
"Journeys
to happier, healthier lives"
"This book is an unflinching,
no-holds-barred collection of the writings of women affected by eating disorders.
I applaud the bravery and creativity of this compilation's contributors, as they
describe their own journeys to happier, healthier lives."
