Hi everyone ! Two days ago was my 5 months milestone from recovering for my heroin addiction, I made this cute blueberry lemon cheesecake. Still didn’t taste it because I got a bad stomach flu the day I made this 😭 but according to my boyfriend it’s really good ! And I will definitely take a slice for this month ! Because to be honest, I never ate a single slice from the stuff I’ve baked/posted the past few months eversince my sobriety. Ive been struggling for years on and off with anorexia nervosa (long before my heroin addiction started) and I relapsed BAD when I stopped using (coping mechanism). For two weeks now I’ve been actively trying to eat regularly and gain weight/heal internally otherwise I’m gonna die. So please for my sanity, do not comment on anything regarding how sugar is « addictive » or how I should Watch my sugar consumption since my sobriety (I’ve been getting these comments quite often in the previous posts), I know its probably with good intentions but it’s very triggering for someone who has an active eating disorder. So please no diet talk/food policing here 💕 NO food is mmore harmful than restriction and any eds. enjoy the slice of cake 🍰 🫶

    Yummmm! The blueberry topping looks soooo juicy.

  21. Rum_BunnyX3

    That looks amazing!  Congratulations on being sober! You have so much more life to live and I’m glad that you are giving yourself the best chance to do so. I wish you well on your sobriety journey! One day at a time 💗 

    And as for the other thing, I completely understand and see this as a huge win! I have recently been put into treatment for anorexia. Enjoying food is still so hard and painful at times. I’m so proud of you for taking that huge step to enjoying this (and hopefully other yummy treats). Please have a big ol’ slice for me! Thank you for the motivation to eat breakfast.

    My DMs are always open if you ever need support. Take care fellow friend in recovery ❤️

    I don’t like cheesecake but I love anything with blueberry and lemon- they go together like no other and that looks delicious! Nice thick crust too – yum!

    That cheesecake looks amazing!
    Congratulations on your hard work!!

  24. people_skillz

    Congratulations on all fronts! Pro-tip: even if you’re too ill to eat it now, you can freeze slices to enjoy later. I’ve been known to eat slices straight out of the freezer like a feral raccoon.
