I finally did it. I had enough of them looming over me every time I walk into my room. I had them in this little decorative box (oh the irony) and I had enough of it winning. I haven't cut in 22 days now, and I am done I am finished with this. So I finally threw them out. I had a moment of panic, of thinking "god I am going to need to buy more", but it passed after breathing calmly.
This is big for me. I've always had them on me since I was 18. I am 23 now. I finally did it.

Great for you! I wish I had your courage. I've been able to go for months without self-harming before (I've relapsed lately), but I always need to have the razor just to look at, sometimes.
Congrats!!

No, you haven't. I'm really proud of you. 22 days is not nothing... it took me 8 months without cutting to get the courage to throw my blades away. I'm guessing you have the wish to quit, you just need to keep bouncing off that.
Take care. - AJ |

Take care of yourself. I know you'll be back to 22 days in no time! That was a big feat alone!
