Intro
Hi, I’m Liz and I’m new to both seven cups (somewhat) and this community. I’m on the path towards recovery from self-harm. I’m about three months “clean” now (I’ve had one slip up that I’m choosing not to count for the sake of my pride). I have scars that I’m embarrassed of and spend a lot of time trying to hide but would like to one day not worry about so much. I can distract myself from that stress by reading bad romance books, quilting and learning new languages (right now I’m working on ASL).
it’s nice to “meet” you all!

Hello Liz, nice to "meet" you too hehe (I like how you quotes meet lol). I'm super proud of you for taking a moment to reflect on your recovery this far, 3 months clean is amazing (even with the slip up, sometimes despite our best efforts slip ups happen, but that will never have to disregard the progress made otherwise). I hope you're able to work on alternate healthy options for coping with stress also, reading books, quilting and learning languages all sound quite wonderful hobbies to engage in. Rooting for you as you keep moving forward in your recovery. ❤
How are you finding ASL so far?
ASL is a really amazing language because it’s totally different to any other language I’ve learned. Because it’s all done with your hands it flows in a really unique way. It’s also a bit easier to learn than some other languages because there’s no written component.
@StrawberryLemonade06 I am happy to hear that you are liking ASL :)
@StrawberryLemonade06
Aw that's wonderful to know. I might try it soon too. 😃
