That is great. I too still have strong urges. I got a tattoo of the asain symbol for strength on my left wrist because thats where i used to cut and it has stopped me plenty of times. it has been 3 months since i last cut and hopefully i can continue to fight the urges. Im proud of you. Keep up the good work.

DreamWeaver101: thank you, but i don't know if i could have done it without the support that i found here...good luck to you as well :)

Congratulations!! That's so fantastic. I started this year to try to make it a cut/self harm free year. So far so good, but came too close last night while I was having a flash back. I am physically exhausted from experiencing the flash back and not being able to interrupt it with cutting.
anyway, I'm so happy for you!
