I stopped cutting a year ago today. XD - February 18th 2010, 05:46 PM

I'm sorry, I know I'm not the first to post a thread like this, but I'm just pleased. I never ever ever ever EVER, EVER thought I would see the day when I'd managed to stop cutting....especially for this long. I was a regular poster to the self-harm free thread and I thought I was going to be a self-harmer for ever....stopping wasn't even something I wanted to do. But here I am and I've managed to leave cutting behind ~ I'm not going to presume that I'll never ever do it again, but I'm definitely out of the place I was in for six years, and I'm so happy.

So this is just to let you know that it's possible... if I was able to stop cutting, anyone can. Just stay strong.

That's amazing that you've stayed cut free for a year. I know exactly how you feel I'm almost 3 years cut free, and you have every right to be happy for yourself its a big accomplishment when you get over something addicted.. Although I got to say It will be hard somedays and you'll feel like giving in and just giving up but when those days happen just remember all the progress you have made and I'm prett ysure it will help you not give in anyways I'm proud of you and it's really amazing an dif you ever need anything you can always pm me.

My best friend is also stopped cutting for a long time, and when she told me about it that day, I must say, I feel very proud for her, because I know how hard it is and how much she went through to arrive at that day.

And, even though I am a stranger to you, I am also very proud of you. Press on to a brighter future.

PM me as well, if you need anything.

Thanks for sharing, and congrats. That's a really, really amazing accomplishment. *hugs* = ]


We never win. Not completely.
We never will. That's not why we fight.
We do it because there's things worth fighting for.
Strong is fighting.
It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day.
It's what we have to do. And we can do it together.
