Quote by Carre Otis

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from

Summary

This quote highlights a key difference between the treatment of substance abuse and eating disorders. In drug and alcohol addiction treatment, abstinence from the addictive substances is often a fundamental requirement. However, when it comes to eating disorders, complete abstinence from food is not possible or feasible. This fundamental distinction results in the need for a lengthier treatment approach for eating disorders. The treatment for eating disorders typically involves a longer and more complex process that focuses on rewiring attitudes and behaviors related to food, body image, and self-esteem.

The time must come inevitably when mankind shall surmount the imbecility of religion, as it has surmounted the imbecility of religion's ally, magic. It is impossible to imagine this world being really civilized so long as so much nonsense survives. In even its highest forms religion embraces concepts that run counter to all common sense. It can be defended only by making assumptions and adopting rules of logic that are never heard of in any other field of human thinking.
