Hi all,

I'm pretty new here and I've never posted on this part of the board.

I used to cut severely, for 12 years. The longest time I've ever been SI free since I was 15 was for 9 months. I'm delighted to say that it'll be 8 months next week since I last cut!

I truely believed that I would never stop cutting, I didn't believe it was possible. In the last 8 months there has been times where I've replaced the cutting with other destructive things I've used to cope but there has also been times like just now where, as far as I'm aware, I'm coping without harming myself.

I wanted to share this just to say that it is possible, I can never say never but right now I'm overcoming SI.
Thanks for this!
In_The_Darkness, lily99

Thank you pinkcorr. This offers me a lot of hope. I often wonder if I'll ever go a year without resorting to SI. Congrats!
