25 weeks today.

Congratulations on making it this far! You're so strong to have done this. If you're craving the sting you could try replacing it with a better alternative. One of my friends wears rubber bands around his wrists and snaps them instead of going for the blade. Just take care not to replace one habit with another. Good luck.

The craving for an old addiction can always suddenly present itself,but you are strong enough to not let it be transformed into action. Talk to your "sponsor" for help. Don't think too much about the time, you stopped doing that for the rest of your life.

Congratulations! I hope you have people in your life who recognize your journey and your strength. I can understand the want to go back to old, familiar habits. I would try to focus on the reasons why you stopped doing them in the first place. Also, the rubber band trick mentioned in another post is a good one and I recommend it. Good luck! I believe in you.
