Taking the next step in my recovery journey

I know, the title sounds cheesy, I apologize.

Im 2 days clean, and I think the next step to prevent a relapse is to give my self-harm tools to a close friend. I cant throw them out (they were a really expensive birthday gift and Id feel bad if I threw them in the trash), but at least they will be away from me.

Does this sound reasonable though? Or should I do something else?

@CentreMid Hi, 2 days clean is a great acheivement! It is perfectly reasonable to not want to throw your tools away, especially as they were a gift, so giving them to a friend is a very sensible idea and a good step forward in recovery.

Hi and congrats! Just making a conscious effort to try is a great start and yes giving your tools to a friend is perfectly reasonable.
