I just checked today and I've made it two months (60 days) without any self-injurious behaviour on my part. Yayness.
Going to keep on with it - And hopefully won't fall off the wagon.  Thank you all for supporting me up to this point - you're great.

 congrats on getting through with no SI behaviour at all... I know how easy it is to just do 'mild' stuff and know it's SI and not count it, so it's great you did nothing at all well done Do you have new coping techniques you use now instead of SI?

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
silver_queen said: Do you have new coping techniques you use now instead of SI? </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Not really. Okay, thats not entirely true. I've noticed that I feel the urge to drink more than before - but thankfully that's controlled because I have no money because I am a student. My friends also know I have a bit of an impulse control problem and I am not allowed to drink by myself and they stop me from drinking myself silly - just drinking for enjoyment and not really a coping mechanism. Also having people to talk to is important, even if they don't know about the SI. It's odd - I think about it occassionally but no longer feel the urge to do it (in the beginning, and this is outside of the 60 day period - I did do some minor SI behaviour but nothing that left actual scarring). Maybe I've just not hit on anything that has triggered me to the point that I feel there is no other way to cope - but only time will tell. Getting through some things that were bothering me in one piece (university, some family issues and a very good friend leaving me temporarily) really helped to cement the idea that I don't want to use it as a coping mechanism for the rest of my life. I have one friend who still SIs on occassion IRL but thats more her personality and she's got control over it. I have a more addictive personality and if I ever get addicted to something, its nearly impossible to quit. So hopefully I managed to force myself to quit before that happened. Thanks everyone
