Recovering and cured thread-share your story

[rebecca1976]

I like these positive posts! Can you guys give me some insight as to how you got to the point of saying you are cured/recovering? ID love to say I'm at that point.... but not yet.

A recovered emet is somebody who doesn't obsess about throwing up, doesn't worry about eating out, doesn't worry about travelling on public transport, can be with and give support to somebody who is vomiting, doesn't worry about catching noro off their sick workmate, can eat sushi, rice, chicken, turkey etc without worrying about fp, gets drunk or dabbles with drugs without worrying about throwing up, can visit friends or family in hospital without worrying about picking up a sv, someone who enjoys social occasions, someone who enjoys Christmas and winter without worrying about bugs, someone who can host a children's party and not worry about a child eating too much and vomiting, somebody who thinks ugh when they walk past a pile of vomit
on the pavement but doesn't obsess about it for the rest of the day, somebody who walks into a public toilet where somebody is vomiting and asks if they are ok, somebody who doesn't check their temperature or analyse every stomach gurgle, somebody who doesn't take anti emetics on a regular basis, only when needed, if at all. That is a recovered emet in my mind and something I know for sure I will never be.
