"As people read this book, they will be inspired to know that they are NOT
ALONE---and those struggling with eating disorders definitely need to hear that.
I am blessed to be a part of this truly amazing project." - Regina Edgar, 20,
United States
"I really believe in this project, and I'm
very grateful to have been given a chance to be a part of it. There are so many
real people without a voice and without hope. I think this book can really give
them that." - Katherine Roemer, 19, United States
"I
am sure this book will provide much needed support and help for sufferers of these
misunderstood disorders. It is always important to show that recovery is possible
and that eating disorders can be beaten." - Anna Paterson, 37, England
"I
am so excited to be part of this project, and to have the opportunity to share
with others the beauty of life in recovery." - Amanda Travers Bell, 21, United
States
"If you have ever felt like the only one out there
struggling with an eating disorder, this book will show you very clearly that
you are not. A collection of stories, poetry and artwork by those who are facing
the same demons, let this book inspire you to reach out to others and share your
story as well. Now you KNOW you are not alone." - Christina, 24, the Netherlands
"I am honored to be a part of this project, I can only
hope this book will reach sufferers and their friends and families to let them
know they are not alone, and all is not hopeless!" - Jessica, 26, United States
"As
in any battle you need to gather as many soldiers as possible to fight with you.
A huge part of my recovery success has been due to my boyfriend, therapist, friends
& those of you like me. You taught me to find & use my inner voice and now it
speaks louder than all the negative voices that the eating disorder had. You are
not alone. This book, if nothing else, should teach you that." - Julie Ramirez,
35, United States
Support Letter
You Are Not Alone SUPPORT LETTER!
Every month, I send out a
special letter filled with inspirations, useful tips, helpful
information, personal recovery stories and poems, healing information,
and much more. Here's what current readers are saying about the
Support Letter:
"I
really do enjoy the Support Letter. I recommended it to
my nutritionist because I think so much of the information
and tips are extremely helpful and I hope that she will
be able to pass on some of your compassion and information
to others with eating disorders (she works at the Renfrew
Center in CT).
My
favorite parts of the newsletter are the tips sections (how
to survive the holidays), the inspirational quotes, the
thoughts by celebrities (because for me the media plays
a large part of my body image issues & anorexia), and the
personal story. I think the whole newsletter is extremely
well put together - the history information is pretty cool
to read about and putting a different personal story in
each newsletter is inspiring.
I
just wanted to say that I am grateful for all your hard
work in putting this newsletter together. It gives me the
extra hope to continue to heal."
- Elissa, 25,
struggled with anorexia, depression, and anxiety for about
12 years.
"I
always look forward to reading Andrea Roe’s You Are Not
Alone Monthly Support Letter. From personal stories to professional
guidance, You Are Not Alone is jam-packed with information
that I really want to know --- that I need to know. I highly
recommend it!"

Disorder and How You Can Too

More comments from current Support Letter
readers:
"The
You Are Not Alone Support letter, and Andrea...the one behind
it all are truly a blessing that has come into my life.
She has put so much into this work which doesn't stop at
that. Her generosity, knowledge and personal support and
encouragement has helped me through tough times since I
found this site. I can personally attest to the fact that
she does care and wants all of US to recover and will lend
a hand, advice and a shoulder when times are tough. Thank
you Andrea for all your time, effort, knowledge and support
you continue to give to touch others. You have truly touched
and helped me during my recovery."
- Emily B. from Knoxville TN, has battled anorexia for 9
years.
"Andrea,
unfortunetly you know as well as I do that the web is full
of triggering sites now days. However, your creation is
a beautiful and positive step forward for everyone. Whatever
the illness, whatever the mind set, there is always something
for someone in your magazine and website. When you are in
hospital, one of the main thing taken away is the internet.
However, I think that if people had the chance to read your
site while there, there would be changes...big changes!
You are helping me go forward, You are helping many people
go forward...and I know that one day I'll look forward on
this and will deeply have to thank you more so then now!"
- Kara (Living her 6th year with her
ed, using your help, making it my last....hopefully.)
"I
have been active in the online pro-recovery community for
years, and have been part of many e-newsletters. The "You
Are Not Alone" Support Newsletter is one of my favorite.
The contributors are you. They are me. They are everyone
- each of us who at one point have wondered "Yea, but does
that happen for someone like me?" They are many combined
voices - voices of the logic that people who suffer with
eating disorders never quite believe exists. It does. And
I know this because I was once one of those sufferers."

Jessica, Houston, Texas - Contributor to "You Are Not Alone"
Vol I
"I
want to THANK you for taking the time, energy and love to
put together such a positive and healing newsletter. I have
been reading the first two newsletters and have been blessed
by them!"
-
Angela T. from
New Jersey, USA, struggling with anorexia.
"Thanks
for the great January 2007 edition, Andrea! I especially
liked the photo retouching segment (so surprising!) and
really, really like your piece on the possibility of full
recovery. When I first started recovery I looked and looked
for someone to say that...I'm glad you're putting it out
there."
