A Dittie from Dr. Dorie
“I know what it’s like to struggle with diets, eating disorders, and other addictions. I also know how to be free, and I’d like to share my recovery wisdom with YOU!
By the way, my favorite color is PINK LEOPARD PRINT! This as a symbol of my recovery, which reflects courageously being seen as my True Self.”
