good for you!! keep it up, you're doing great! finding ways to replace it is EXACTLY what you have to do. I know you can do this, just take it a day, an hour, or a minute at a time--whatever you need to so you can hold on to this strength you've found.

congratulations!!! i managed to go a full year without cutting or burning myself, until this week. i found that physically exhausting myself was the best way to avoid cutting for so long. i'm totally out of shape so it didn't take much, just running as hard as i could in one direction until i could NOT go any more, then the walk back was my calm down time. if i felt i NEEDED to hurt myself i would just hit myself anywhere but the face until i got it out of my system. there's not the instant gratification of seeing what damage you've done but it will also just physically exhaust you. every day is a success, even when you've managed to make it a year. congrats to everyone who is taking the steps to make positive change in their lives!!!

Way to go!

I'm also in the process of quitting..and have been for the past 2 years. It's a struggle, but eventually it does get easier.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
