Six weeks! You are amazing!! Because you are having urges, that doesn't make you a loser. Six weeks is a long time, but not a long time. Meaning: each minute of not cutting is horribly long; each minute is a victory; six weeks is wonderful. However, in the "big scheme of things" six weeks is not very far removed from an action that has helped you in the roughest times, been like a "friend" to you and is very addictive. Be patient, give yourself a break and be easy with you. You are doing wonderful.

When you first started to stop, what kind of things did you do to break the cycle and urges? Think about them, try them. There are good ideas in the stickies at the top of the forum. Keep posting here, support is here for you.
