Hello, everybody. Duly chastened Recovery Dad here.
My mistake has been corrected, with the kind and understanding help of tech support at Apple, and the show is once again available on iTunes!
Just in time, too, because Episode 2 will be out on Monday morning.
Enjoy!
Due to technical difficulties (well, really a boo-boo that Recovery Dad made) Episode 1 is temporarily not available on iTunes. But you can still listen to it here on our web site, or download it from Stitcher or Zune.
A duly chastened Recovery Dad will let you all know when the iTunes issue has been resolved.
Thanks to everybody who has sent in positive feedback on our first episode. You've made us very happy here at Secret Recovery Headquarters!
We're both excited now that the web site has officially launched and our first episode is out there in the world. Let us know what you think!
As might be expected, we're hitting little technical snags here and there, so our apologies if things aren't as smooth as they could be yet. By Episode 2, which drops on September 15th, 2014, we expect things to be much smoother. By October 1st, well, we'll be cooking with gas!
We've mapped out 7 episodes worth of topics so far – There's plenty to talk about. We hope to hear from our listeners as well, so if you think of something we should cover please let us know via the contact form here on the web site.
Future blog posts should be more about eating disorders and less about launching a podcast. Adding recipes continues, and we hope to be adding yours as well. It has been quite an adventure already, and we can't wait to see where this goes. Please help spread the word. We are on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook. And, of course, always on www.recoverydad.com.
-- Recovery Dad & Recovery Girl
On September 1st the very first episode will be available here on this web site and at all of the usual podcast sources such as iTunes.
Anorexia, and other eating disorders, are greatly misunderstood. This is partially due to the fact that nobody likes to talk about them. There is still a lot of shame involved in mental disorders and that, honestly, is a shame. It makes you feel so alone.
Recovery Dad & Recovery Girl are just a dad and a daughter who made it through this. We realized that there are a lot of counterintuitive things about eating disorders that we wish we had known back when we first got the diagnosis. And we don't think there's anything shameful about having an ED. If you're anorexic it doesn't mean you're broken, and it doesn't mean you did something wrong. It's something that happened to you, like a broken arm.
When we looked around we didn't see a single podcast dedicated to the many families out there struggling with eating disorders, so we created one.
We're going to try, with the Recovery Dad and Recovery Girl podcast, and with this web site, to help families dealing with an ED to not feel shame and, most importantly, not feel alone. We hope you'll join us and together we'll fight eating disorders one bite at a time!
