celebrating 2 months

Postby sarahwpen » Tue Sep 15, 2015 1:57 pm

2 months of no SH today. No e-cigs, no cigs, no weed, no cheating, no running away, no long talks with my mom, no more than 2 drinks, no venting with/through pain, and I'm doing good. Not every day is easy, but I am getting through it. Learning to be kinder to me so that I can be kinder to the ones that I care about. Accepting my flaws, saying NO when I have had enough, choosing how I spend my time more carefully, and generally trying to be more realistic about what is reasonable to expect from myself, and others.

Thank you guys all for helping me get through the really dark parts. I hope that I can help others through it also. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Good for you.

Little steps all the way. Keep taking the steady steps and soon the two months will increase into longer. Keep believing in yourself and that you are worth it. Keep rebuilding your life.

Be kind to yourself.

Safe hugs.

Take care

Ten months now. Its been rough since about October, but I've managed to stay ok. I almost cracked today, but I hated to ruin the streak. Knowing that I've come this far without it makes it harder to fall back into blaming myself and hurting myself like that. I keep thinking, "If I can do it for a week, then I can do it for 2... If I did it for 10 months, then I can make a year...." I want something though badly. It's not fun here right now. But I'm making it.

Well done on 10 months.

I'm sorry things are difficult just now. Would talking help? What distractions normally work for you? 10 months is a huge achievement, especially when a coping method such as self harm is so addictive. Try to resist the urges, but also be compassionate to yourself.

Stay safe
