8 days... the recent ones are almost healed all the way now, and the urges are picking up intensity again... working on taking care of me. I've got surgery for my back coming up in a 2 weeks from tomorrow, and I really, really want to not have anything healing at the time. That's my motivation right now.

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks, but I'll be breaking that run. I've already planned out what and how. I don't think I can talk myself out of it either. I would've done it today, but I couldn't. So far there's nothing to stop me tomorrow.

Have you thought about why you are so sure about doing something tomorrow, psychnitrous? I guess I'm asking why you are so set on doing it... and what feelings may be causing you to want to do it in the first place...

If there's nothing to stop you so far, can you plan something that will get in the way? Like, if you have a 2 hr window where it is possible, plan to go to the movies at that time...

My stress levels have just been building and building and I don't know how else to let it all out. That and my mood has recently dipped severely, and I feel like all my stress and my boyfriend's is all my fault, so I deserve something destructive. No one ever notices it anyway.

I'm not sure if there's anything I can put in my way today. I plan on going back to sleep now for a few hours but eventually I have to get up and will have some time before work. Yesterday I had time, but couldn't do it because my boyfriend stayed home from work, but he just left so now I'm alone until I go to work myself.

EDIT/UPDATE: Well, I won't be doing it today. My boyfriend just came home early, while I was still in bed. So there's something in the way now.

14 and a half months. Before this recent clean run I'd managed 18 months but these recent months have been incredibly stressful what with family bereavement and drama with friends that coincided with it. Yet I've managed to resist. Much lesser stuff used to make me relapse before. I think I'm finally making progress

Well done for achieving that streak! For some of us every hour we avoid SI is a significant achievement!!
Best of luck and wishing you strength and encouragement as you work on all this.

Well done childofchaos. That's a great goal to have to be good for your surgery.
Wishing you all the best, (luck, strength, determination and kindliness towards yourself) that you need to help you get there.

It sounds like the loss of hope is giving you a great deal of pain right now.

I nearly added another week to my run, but I broke it today. Everything just keeps building on me and I don't know how to let it go.
