Yay for you.
I'm happy that you feel better.

The only issue is I'm almost afraid it wont last, and all be into the si again. The question is, will this last? SI is an addiction for me, will I ever want it again to keep other thoughts at bay?

Always waiting for the "other shoe to drop" and for things to get bad again or the possibility that they will... are totally normal thoughts. Scary, but normal. Yes, SI is an addiction. But the thoughts can come and go and you don't need to act on them. You know what it feels like NOW to be happy, so you remember the feelings if you're ever faced with the urge again.

Please let this last.... but how do I get over the urges if they come? What's a good way to cope with those thoughts? Any ideas?

What have you done so far to deal with the thoughts and urges?? What has changed for the positive, what have you learned to help yourself?
