I just heard that there is a bracelet for recovering self-injurers that has 6 orange beads on it, and for every month that you don't cut, you replace on bead with a white bead. Does any one know where you can get one or what they are called so I can find them myself? This just sounds like such a nice idea. Thanks! =]

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. They were very helpful!

xxmadxx : I don't think it matters. I haven't heard of a color for string that makes a difference. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. =]

thanks Catlovers141...do ya think it will have the signficance (sp) if i make my own??

deleted_user 10/08/2008

that sounds cool I might do that but it might be better if I start with weeks or something smaller I'm gonna need to be able to see my progress easier....

I think it may even have more significance if you make it on your own. You can personalize it and choose what kinds of beads you use.

Mikki: I was thinking of starting with smaller increments of time too. Maybe I will make mine go by the week.
