Hello, my name is Kayla. I struggle with depression and anxiety, and as a result I self harm. I don’t see too many stories/topics about self harm so hopefully I’m not in the wrong place. However I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I have been .88 days clean so far, and hopefully I can make it to a full year.

@Oliverjava thanks for the wise words of encouragement. They are really appreciated. Also, I haven’t been 88 days clean (I wish), I’ve only been .88 days clean, as in a little less than a day. But we all gotta start somewhere right?

You are totally right. We All have to start somewhere. If this group even helps you for a day you are doing better then before!!! Think of it this way dear… Some drink… Some use, some cut ect… But we are all one in the same… Looking or lacking in some form or fashion.

My name is Bethany, I been sober for two years. Everyday is a struggle because it’s so easy to drink or smoke weed, even though I wasn’t didn’t consume it for a long time I still had issues when I used. I trying figure out when it started being easy to drink or smoke my problems away because as a child I saw my mother drink and I promise myself I wouldn’t do it but at 21 everyone pressured me into drinking and it just became a social thing than it became my helper in talking and standing out for once but that’s not why I got sober it because I had a child and I didn’t want to continue a cycle.

Glad to meet you Kayla.congratulations on your accomplishment of 88 days clean. I have 8 months and 2 days completely sober. I just take it one day at a time with the determination of succeeding only. Failure being relapsing isn’t even an option… I’ve had 0 relapses since i decided to get sober. I know you can do it too
Hey @Kayla,
I was a self harmer as well until I turned to alcohol, which is what I’m using this app for. Welcome, and congratulations in taking the first step.
