I've been clean for a couple months and idk what, but something's triggered me... All the pain I've had since i quit is washing over me and I have no clue if I can stay strong...

You can bounce back, and you will.

Don't let one slip up ruin all of the hard work that you put in before.
Just do what you were doing before. Believe that you can stop. You can, and you know it. It is amazing to stay clean that long, and one step back in between over 100 forward is nothing to be ashamed of.

You'll get back up there one way only; if you believe in yourself that you can fix it.
And you can, and will.

Just distract yourself immediately when you get an urge. Shove headphones in your ears and listen to music, be with people, start reading, anything.


Good luck with everything, and never hesitate to post!

That's a point. Don't let things get too far, when you start to get an urge do something to take your mind off it.

Believe in yourself, what makes you think you can come this far but no further? You can, talk to someone if needs be or write it all down? You should be so proud that you've managed to resist for so long though, focus on that instead of that you want to. Remember all the reasons why you quit, that it really isn't worth it. Don't think about what it is that triggered you because that's most likely going to make it worse, think about the people that would be proud if they new and the advantages you have when you don't cut.
There are so many reasons not to and I'm sure you'll find one that works for you?
Good luck with everything and stay strong, you can.
