SH Trick

hiya! new to this thread : 3

I'm currently a monthish sober of sh (woohoo!) and I js wanted to share a little trick my therapist taught me to help recover

ik urges get strong as ***! that's ok!! what i was taught to do is actually hold ice any time you feel like relapsing or js shing in general. it's cold and not only acts as a calmer to ur nerves, it gets ur mind off it!! it also will hurt a bit if held for too long

might not help everyone, but it rlly helped me!! : D

Personal trick. Wear a thick rubber band around your wrist. For me it boils down to adrenaline from the pain focuses my mind. So snapping a rubber band gets me there but no blood, scares, scaring bystanders.
