"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  

"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!"

- Jenni Schaefer, Author of Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too

"I had anorexia for 10 years but I am recovered now and this website absolutley helped me a lot. Although I'm recovered, I still read every issue of the Support Letter and look forward every month to the latest edition."
- A., Singapore

"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 C, USA, struggled with bulimia, anxiety, and depression and is in strong recovery.

"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."

- Ashley from the States.
