As of writing up this post, I'm closing in on two years clean from self harm, as well as two years recovered from anorexia. This thread is a tribute to my mom, dad, brothers, Peyton, Kate, Sydney, Camille, Ady, Gwen, and everyone else who's shared this journey with me. :)
This thread is a space for people to celebrate their recovery and have themselves heard. It could be a week without smoking, a month without self-harm, a year sober, etc. The point of this thread is to foster an environment for people to share their progress, and hopefully inspire others to keep going. You may be as reserved or as bombastic as you like; share only to the degree you're comfortable with.
Rules:
- No bummers! The purpose of this thread is not to vent or post solely about the "valleys" of your recovery. Please try to keep discussion overall positive and uplifting.
- Treat topics with respect. Don't haha react vulnerable posts.
- If you feel as though your post could trigger others, through mention of the amount, degree, or means of a destructive behavior, please use a trigger warning. Generic mentions of sensitive topics will not require a trigger warning.
- No memes, flaming, or spam, obviously.
- Although it pains me to exclude anyone's experience, please refrain from discussing recovery from addictions of a sexual nature, as per global rules.
- Here's a list of helplines that I stole from the mental wellness thread.
- Thanks all for your time <3
