Life in Addictive Eaters Anonymous provides me with the freedom to have great adventures

Before I came into the fellowship of Addictive Eaters Anonymous, I lived full of fear, resentment, self-pity, shame, and self-obsession. My eating was completely out of control and I could no longer stop eating even though I really wanted to and went to great lengths to try and stop. My world became a small and lonely existence where the only thing I looked forward to was hiding out with my food. There was no room for adventure in my life.

Contractors will level the ground, re-lay paving, install additional lighting and street furniture, plant more trees and create landscaped areas that Christchurch City Council described as “rain gardens”.

King Size Mattress

Dannielle from Opawa - Saint Martins

I was actually looking for a recycling center that takes old mattresses but can not find one. If anyone wants it they are welcome to it for free. It's about 10 years old and is covered in stains from my cat who I got at the same time. Tried many times to wash it but stains never came out.
