Recovery - You are doing a great job!

Hello every-amazing-one!

Since I am around here I have met so many amazing people. I mean, you all are doing such an amazing job and trying your very best and thrive towards recovery all the time which is truly inspiring. I am just so proud of you. :)

Yes, including you reading this, you are awesome and I am very proud of you!

The road to recovery can be a confusing one and really hard to measure. One way to keep track of things can be to keep a count of our days staying clean of self-harming and, really, every single day is an amazing achievement.

I know some of you may be at only a few days while others may have already been clean of SH for month. Do not compare yourself to others tho, you are on your own path to recovery and you are making really great steps on it, with every single day you manage to fight those urges and learn to cope better. You are making a very important step and it does not matter if it might be the first step on your road or the hundredth.

Remember that you are always trying your best and taken the brave and tough step to reach out here and join us and that is something you do deserve to be proud of, no matter what. :)

Also, I know how disheartening relapses can be when you keep track of your progress through clean streaks but remember to be kind with yourself. It is okay to relapse, you are not a failure and relapsing does not take away all that progress you have made and all those healthy coping skills you have learned through those steps.

I mean, lets say that on day hundred you may break your clean streak. It may feel like you are back at where you have started but that is not true. 99% of your last hundred days you have been free of self-harm.

Even the word relapse shows the progress you have made. The only reason you can relapse is because you have already came too far.

Just remember to always be gentle with yourself and take things one step at a time. This is not a race and you are not alone in this here.

You are strong, you are brave, and you can definitely get through this.

I believe in you and no matter where you might be at your road to recovery I am just so very proud of you! :)

*hugs* (of whoever might need and/or want one)
