    One year ago, I relapsed for the second time in under a year, after going 5 years without doing anything. Today marks one year with no relapses. I honestly didn't think this would be possible. I was so close around the holidays, and when I first realized I am gay. Yet here I am, at one full year. I don't know if I make it to 5 years again, but one is amazing enough.

    Brilliant. Keep going. I am so happy to hear you are not harming yourself. I know someone who does this, and I wish he would stop.

    You've done amazingly well. When you are under pressure it's so tempting to fall back into that familiar pattern but you pushed through it and you can be justifiably proud of yourself for that. Great stuff Phoenix.

    Thanks so much everyone. I still can't believe it has been a year already. If anyone else is struggling and wants to talk I'm here to listen.

    I've struggled a lot with self-injury in the past. I'm really happy to hear you're doing well.

    You are such a strong individual, and I couldn't be happier for what you've achieved.
