I've seen this sort of thing on a couple of other sites.

It's to put your accomplishments, relapses or anything you want it to be

you could post every day if you need to or once a month, no accomplishments too small.

and if you relapse, you are strong. and you can do this.

I will try get back to as many people as I can and if you need message me on here.

if this doesn't work oh well, but id like to see it work.

Hope you are liking all the cute cat pictures! [v] here is your next clue, where can you introduce yourself if you're new to the subcommunity this month?

That's great @SapphireSong8 !! 22 days is awesome! I know you can make it to a month, then after the month make it two months, then three, exc. Just mark the days off on the calendar or whatever, then before you know it, you'd make it years. But remember: relapse is a part of recovery, so don't be upset if you do, it will just make you stronger the next time smiley Stay strong, we're all on your side and here if you need any help or support! Good luck!

That's great! I know two days doesn't feel like much but every minute that you choose to refrain from self harming counts! Even if you slip up just remember its not the end of the world and tomorrow's a new day. I have been self harming for the past 10 years and the last time I relapsed was over a year ago. I got to this point by taking it one day at a time :) keep your chin up you're doing well and we are here to support you :)
