4 Months clean

I have not cut in 4 months, and i have no idea where the heck those 4 months have gone, despote still having some stressful times during that time everyday has just blended into one.

I have had crazy urges to cut when overly stress but i resist the urge, also tired of all the scars on my arms all the time.

Despite having a failed wisdom tooth removal and having to wait another 6 to 7 months to have it sorted(thankfully the pain is gone or only comes and goes without the need for pain killers)

Despote my parents continued health problems and my dog having a bad hip and despitr failing a few diets ive resisted it.

Next month i am going away for 5 days will be the first time i have left the country and left my parents for that long as well as it will be my first time flying.

I have a mixture of emotions in regards to that, its just a jumble sale of thoughts. Its also going to be tough if the weather gets hot and ive got to try and hide my arms due to all the scars from the past.

They are not deep scars but they are there and are very noticeable and there are a lot of them, and having hidden my "issues" from everyone i dont intend on them finding out now either.

But yeah hopefully i can continue to resist despite what goes on in my head.

That's such good news CJ and I am so pleased for you! It is definitely an incentive to stop and stay stopped when trying to hide the scars on your arms. I don't have any answers I'm afraid. I have heard that you can get stuff to put on scars to help fade them and maybe even disappear. Have a google about Bio Oil (I think that's the name) which I heard was very good.

Have a great holiday and no cutting! x
