"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!"

"Recovery is possible"

"Collection of Hope: This book was written by a vast variety of individuals who have recovered or are in strong recovery from eating disorders. The book contains poetry, testimonies, artwork, and inspirational thoughts. The book is very, very powerful! I would highly recommend this to anyone who has struggled even the slightest bit with food or self image concerns. The best part is that along with the book exists an online support network and monthly newsletter. This online newsletter is the richest in content that I have ever subscribed to. The author, Andrea Roe, is personally invested in the lives of everyone who chooses to share their story with her! Recovery is possible."


Angela,
from the US, is in recovery from
eating disorders and depression


"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 the journey of healing can be made! Andrea brings us all together so we remember we are not alone. There is Hope."

"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

"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."

"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,

"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."

"Life is worth fighting for"

"You Are Not Alone is long overdue. As a survivor/activist myself, I have steadily maintained that if I could heal from anorexia and bulimia, depression and anxiety disorder, literally anyone can heal. Now, here in the pages of You Are Not Alone, an international chorus of courageous fighters spreads this life-saving, life-giving message to any woman who needs to hear it. The stories shared here show us all that there are as many paths to recovery as there are unique souls walking that path. But that does not in any way dilute the fundamental truth – that any woman who wants recovery badly enough - from whatever holds her down - will FIND A WAY. We are strong. We are wise. And we are ALL beautiful, just as we are. So if you are out there, fighting your way through to hope, read this book and don’t give up – life is a choice, and your life is so worth fighting for! much love"

"I will be recommending
You Are Not Alone
to my clients"

"I have treated eating disorders for 20 years and the one thing I know for sure is that no one can recover from this destructive disease alone. And so the title of this book certainly got my attention.

You Are Not Alone is an amazing gift waiting for anyone who is suffering with an eating disorder. This diverse collection of creative expression --- in prose, poetry and visual arts --- has the power to break through the barriers of isolation and deliver genuine hope to the reader's doorstep. Andrea Roe and her courageous co-creators offer inspiration, identification, and practical guidance that can make a real difference in readers' lives. It is a book that offers a variety of perspectives to demonstrate how individuals experience eating disorders and eating disorder recovery in unique and personal ways. Readers will not only be supported in their efforts to recover, but they will also very likely be inspired to put pen to paper or brush to canvas so that they too can creatively express their struggles and their triumphs in recovery.

I will be recommending You Are Not Alone to my clients and workshop participants for some time to come."

"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."


Kelley Arao, Eating Disorders Therapist
Abbotsford Mental Health, Canada


"You are not alone"

"You Are Not Alone comprises a collection of short stories, poems and images, wich all give insight into personal feelings, thoughts and fears of 34 women, suffering from eating disorders. The stories are as variable and unique, as the ways, the women have chosen to overcome the eating disorder and strike a new path back to life. Very often the feeling of hopelessness leads to isolation, and isolation very often kills any ray of hope. I very much hope and believe that the book will reassure others suffering from eating disorders, to overcome isolation and keep fighting their way back to life - you are not alone!

Every story is unique and communicates hope, every author is telling a passage of a singular life, each contribution encourages to keep on fighting, and the continuous message precisely is what is said in its title: you are not alone."


Miriam.

"Recovery from an eating disorder is possible"

"The courage and strength in each of the poems, stories, musical lyrics and artwork are both heartbreaking and stirring at the same time. By compiling this book of writing, Andrea is offering to those still struggling a ray of light, understanding and, above all, hope, that recovery from an eating disorder is possible. Congratulations on such a wonderful resource!"

"There is always hope"

"You Are Not Alone, by Andrea Roe, is a compilation of the writings of women of varying ages. It has been written to provide insights, encouragements, and support to those that now struggle with an eating disorder. This book has also been written in order to raise awareness on eating disorders that stem from abuse.

Each of the stories are written in a detailed manner. They each carry with them some strong emotions. Yet, it is a book I feel will help other women. These women write of the horrors of abuse and the effects it had on their eating habits. Each of them carries a story that has the capability to touch the hearts of those struggling with eating disorders and such.

"Painted Desert," by Geri Karlstrom, tells the readers that although they are struggling, there is always hope. In essence, it is the hope that she runs to and finds courage. Jessica Beal wrote a poem titled, “Future?” In this poem, she writes of how everything looks to the loved ones of the woman. She writes from their perspective and talks of hope once again.

I recommend this book to any person that has ever had to deal with an eating disorder, as well as to their loved ones. The women that have written their stories in this book are truly courageous, for they have taken but a moment to sit down and write of encouragement, hope, and courage. "

"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."

"I recommend anyone touched directly
or indirectly by an eating disorder
to read this book"

"You Are Not Alone is a unique compilation of stories, poems, art and even song lyrics from women suffering or recovering from eating disorders and related issues. What this wonderful collection of women amply illustrates is the global nature of the problem and how it does not discriminate by race, age or indeed gender. The author Andrea Roe has given a voice to women of all ages and from countries across the globe including the US, Canada, Netherlands, UK and New Zealand to name a few.

Each story is different in its circumstances yet similar in the passion and emotion that flows from words born out of the pain and isolation each contributor has suffered and yet these poignant stories and poems combine to convey a message of strength, courage and hope.

The title "You Are Not Alone" speaks for itself. This chorus of strong voices will provide other sufferers out there with a real sense of community and that there are others who understand and share their burden. This book, which may be disturbing at times for those who do not understand the complexity of the various manifestations of eating disorders, will leave the reader with a different perspective on those that suffer. These women are not weak victims, they are strong survivors. They deserve our admiration for the inspiration they provide. I recommend anyone touched directly or indirectly by an eating disorder to read this book and feel the power of these wonderful women.

"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.

"You can life ED (eating disorder) free"

"This is the book which has helped me to FINALLY get into recovery after battling for eleven years with bulimia.... Andrea Roe's 'You Are Not Alone' is an invaluable tool for those suffering with an Eating Disorder (ED) of any nature, and also for their loved ones and supporters, as it will help them to understand the confusing and dangerous nature of the condition.

Through the very real experience of over 30 unique and inspiring women from all over the world, including the author herself, the book illuminates the truth: Recovery IS possible and you can live life ED free, appreciating the beauty of youself as a person, and the possibilities and opportunities of the world around you!

The frank and personal accounts, poems and artwork show how from some of the lowest points imaginable, these amazing women were able to start and succeed on their journey back to well being - in body and mind!I really cannot recommend this book enough!


Shelly,

"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!"
