You are welcome Tina. You and your good news are an inspiration.

Thank you so much, I did make a error though it is 21months not 22 sorry just noticed that. I had to clear that up. You are so thoughtful you totally went out of your way & I appreciate that.  You know all the praying must really be pulling through, I'm lucky & very glad I got you behind me.  And as far as helping other people & stop hurting myself.  In the very beginning it started out as I stopped for those around me.  That did not last long because deep down in myself I didn't want to stop.  Then at one point I really wanted to get it out of my life but then I found I was addicted to it & I didn't know what else to do.  With some counseling off & on & being in the hospital It really came down to do I really want to live this way or do I want to get better.  Along the way I slowly got stronger & each time I relapsed I had to yet again get back up.  One thing that helped me is that do I want to get a quick escape or be healthy & happy in the long run.  Cutting is a temporary fix to me it pushes everything back & when it's gone I have to deal with issues a lot harder lt really catches up to  me. I still have unresolved issues & it goes years back. But anyway take care
I think Dr. Phil hit the nail on the head when he said, "Life isn't cured it is managed." He said anything we want to change we have to find a positive replacement and, Tina, I am SO happy that you have. Like member homebee's mother said, "It is a one day, one tear, one smile and one moment at a time" journey. I am SO proud of you Tina... Your saying 22 months is just that determination and confidence that deep down you know you WILL make it to 22 months and onward because you decided to get better. You have brightened my day with your determination that inspires determination for us all to make the choice to get better. Whatever that means in each of our lives. GOD Bless You A LOT Tina.
