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?

A listener on this site did keep me from taking it all the way.

One year and two months! I'm so proud of myself- I've never made it to more than a month or two before (and holidays are so hard!). I'm so glad to find this forum- I really, really wanted someone to tell when I reached a year, but it's not exactly cheery texting. Good luck to everyone on their journeys (wherever you are). You are loved.

I slipped twice this month. Had an incident 1 week ago and yesterday.

A month and a half.... I had a slip up then after roughly three years clean. It was difficult to come to terms with at first, especially since it was the first time I had self harmed as an adult, which just kind of made me feel like a total failure and disappointment. I thought I had overcome it after all that time, you know?? I'm kind of realizing though that it's an ongoing battle, and the fact that I returned to an old habit doesn't mean I'm a weak person.

What I've learned from my own journey is that self harming isn't a battle you win once and leaves you alone, no, it's a battle we fight every day for the rest of our life. So it's okay. You did it again but you can come clean out of it again. You can do it ;)

I totally understand that. I was 4 yrs clean and relapsed the 1st time as an adult as well and I felt the same way. But it's been since Oct. 27th, 2015 so I'm still proud of that.
