I'm making a promise to myself. *SH-related*

[Destiny&Desire]

And I hope I can stick to it.

I'm sick of constantly worrying about my arm ever since I starting SH-ing again a few weeks ago, and I'd rather be without a guilty conscious when I go clothes/t-shirt shopping with my friends.

I'm going to see a show in a few weeks which I really can't wait for (I cut the main actor's name into my arm, not good.), and I want to be able to wear the t-shirt which I bought at the show last time I went without worrying about the cuts on my arm, because I don't want my sister to see them (she's going with me), so I need to promise myself that I can stop.

And I'm going to visit my friend in London a few days after for her birthday, and the last thing I want to do is ruin her birthday with whatever rubbish is on my arm.

I need to stop, for a few weeks at least. No compromise, no nothing. Just clean arms is all I need.

I hope you stop for good! Good luck. :)

Moved to Cutting and SH.

[Triceratops]

This is so good!
I really hope you achieve this :)
Good luck <3

Good on you for finding some motivation to stop! :D

Have a look at the sticky in this forum and at other threads for ideas on things you can do when the urges strike.

[Project Delta]

Just to ask. Did you actually end up succeeding? I hope you did!!:D

[Destiny&Desire]

I had a major slip up recently, but I'm trying not to.

I hope that the end of this school term/break/whatever reason school is finishing tomorrow (lol) will give me time to just start afresh and try and make things the way they used to be.

I'd like to think that I've stopped, but I can't be sure yet.

Thanks for the support, everyone =]

[Project Delta]

[RaeNose]

Dang it! You totally reminded me! I really must stop now. Going to see Wicked in May... Hope my scars heal by then. Thanks for the reminder.

[RaeNose]

Oh, btw, what shoe are you going to? Anything good? :)

[Destiny&Desire]

Sorry if I'm like... "bumping" this [slightly old] thread by replying to the question.

I saw the show last week - it was like a circus/freakshow thing with all acrobats and stuff =]

[RaeNose]

That's cool. :) Sounds like a lot of fun.

[bunsy]

sounds really cool - if you want to totally quit, go to more shows more motivation less scars and a quick tip **bio-oil** it fades scars and savlon cream for the clean healing of cuts should you happen to do it again, which you wont because your fabulous and can do this :)

[Destiny&Desire]

Gone without it for half a month now... =]

[RaeNose]

Heck yes! Keep going, we're all rooting for you! :)

[Destiny&Desire]

It kinda feels good to know that people have actually replied to this... =]

I nearly messed up last night (it was like 2am and I had no distractions), but I didn't =]

Sorry if I'm bumping this thread or anything by replying =p

[katytruthteller]

hey great news hope u stopped and u can carry it thru its always good to have support nd motivation to stop :)

[Destiny&Desire]

yeah, one slip up isn't gonna take me all the way back to step one =]

i don't mind if i do it again, just as long as i don't do it as often and, eventually, don't do it rarely/ever...

[Project Delta]

Yo Dude, you relapsed so what?
You can recover.
Part of the road to success is failiure and LEARNING from those mistakes so learn from it dude, and stop :) and we can be clean buddies coz i've stopped for 7 and a half weeks now :)

[RaeNose]

Yay! Congrats! I'm been clean for... maybe over a month? Last time I cut was sometime in March.
Keep fighting, hun, we all know you can beat this. :)
