I wanted to cut so badly last night... I couldn't sleep.. couldn't turn my mind off... I was going crazy..... all I could think about was cutting. I was trying to sleep but couldn't get the images of blades and blood out of my mind... it was awful!! BUT I got through it.... and I am so glad I did! I didn't cut.. almost.. but I didn't.....

It's been months since I have and I am really really proud of myself for it... I hope that the rest of you can take some kind of strength from this post... if I can get past it you can too.. just one step at a time... one craving at a time..................

thank you guys so much... i am glad that you are all just as supportive of members' successes as you are of their lapses. it is just as important for all of us to support each other as we make these small successes as it is to support each other in times of need....

That is so cool!!! Each time we are able to resist that enormous urge to cut, the closer we get to the day that we will have cut our last cut!

--- or.. further from the day that we had cut our last cut and closer to the day that we will no longer have to fight to resist the urge :D
