The only thing that's keeping me right now is that I know if I do it, I'll won't come back this time.

Hi, grey aj,
Hey, really well done on the progress that is seriously something to be proud of!!!
And......."Life's good. Life's great" that's fantastic!!!
And...........you know there's a chance you're NOT lying to yourself, you know??!!
SH can be like a drug........the urges, the "need", the addiction, the pulling you back to.........so reminiscing about it......well it can be natural to feel that pull/that "calling". But as you know it can get better, it has, and it can keep getting better.......sure there might be times when the reminiscing feels........but try to keep hanging in there, hey??
It sounds like you've been doing so well......and you have seen "both sides", what it's like with, and what it's like without...........
But regardless we're here for you..........so you're not on your own with this.

Alison
Thanks for this!
