15 June 2008 was the last time I hurt myself to cope with feelings. Since then I resolved not to use self harm to manage my emotions or validate myself, which were the main reasons I self harmed.
I've been through a lot and wanted to start again but I haven't.
I have made attempts at my life so I don't know if this seven years counts or not.
But to me it does because I have not, despite everything I went through, fallen back into that addictive hole of self harm. It truly was an addiction and so being seven years clean of that, of that scars, of the extra pain is an achievement for me.
Remember "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", and the journey of seven years began with just one day free. You can do it too.
I couldn't have done it without RYL though, I honestly couldn't do THANK YOU XXXXXX
Well done lovely!! That is so awesome, and you DEFINITELY deserve to celebrate it and be proud of yourself! <3

This is amazing news Aimee, congratulations on such a huge achievement!
It sounds like your attempt on your life are very different in meaning and feeling to your self harm, so it's definitely legit to count and celebrate this seven years free. Will you be doing anything to celebrate/reward yourself?

Sunflowers are really wonderful! (Did you know that some of the things they symbolise include happiness, healing, flexibility and vitality - how appropriate!)
