My goal is to go at least two weeks without self harming I know it's a low goal but it's twice as long as I have before.

Goals are defined by people, not by others expectations. 2 weeks in such an amazing goal, especially with it being double! You can do this heart

My goal is to do more self care. This month is probably going to be stressful, and I find it hard to practise self care when I feel stressed as it feels like there are more important things to do.

Yey for self-care! It's so nice to take time for yourself when you need it.

this month's goal (like every month) is to stay clean. focusing on other healthy coping mechanisms and to try not to tempt myself with SH.

@JaydenIsHere

for recovery month, i've set myself a goal to stay clean for at least the entire month of september, im in one of my worst places right now and this is where i draw towards bad coping mechanisms but for the sake of myslelf, others, people who care im going to try my upmost best to get through this month. i have only ever gone 3 weeks and 5 days clean so achieving this goal would mean so much to me especially as im doing it alone. i dont want to disappoint myself and even posting on these forums scares me a bit as my goal has been heard so it means i really do have to stick with this so i dont disappoint people like you who's reading this. i will fight for myself this month, ive got to!
