Talking i think i can do it - March 7th 2010, 06:33 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

so i think i can do it. i've already gone 1 week without cutting or self-harm. i may have gone through a few urges of wanting to slice my arm open wirth a razor, but i haven't done. i'm so proud of myself. And i've locked my razors in the garage in an old toolbox. so yeah i think this time i can it.


~Alex

Last day I cut: 7-13-2010

I believe in everyone that I help that they will get over whatever they are struggling with.

I regret nothing in my past. My past made me who I am today.

Hey Alex!

It's wonderful that you've made the decision to stop self harming, that's a really great idea and step forward!
One week is a long time when you're trying to give something up and it's good that you've managed to resist any urges that you may have had during that time - keep it up!
I'd also like to recommend the Self Harm Free sticky which is [here] - by posting there, you could keep us up to date on how you're doing, receive encouragement and give encouragement to others, too!

Keep strong!

Like everyone else... this brightened my day.
It took me years to stop and I'm doing pretty well now.
If you ever need to talk, PM
CONGRATS!
