Hello,
June marks 1 year that I have been SI free. Although I went to SAFE in July ‘o7, I was reminded by a provider I currently had based upon my records that there is something to look forward to.
Life lately continues to get better, I still have my struggles, but get through them much easier. I am in the process of going back to work full time, as applying to broadcast radio stations for on air and producer’s work. So far I have been interviewed by 11 broadcast groups, and I get at least 1-2 e-mails a day, with referrals to openings elsewhere.
I keep on looking back on my journals, and the book “Bodily Harm” I keep on coming to the conclusion honestly my life is not all that bad.
I will tell everyone who may be reading this that the process of the program is to have some thought about the realities of the issue that may trigger, and how to cope with them. It was still the best course of treatment, although at times challenging, I have undertaken. For that I am very thankful that SAFE Alternatives does exist.
Today my quality of life is much better than it has been and I thought I would pass on the word of thanks. When June 20 rolls around, Deep in my heart I know I didn’t do it alone, but I did it.
I think that it is totally awesome that you are coming up on a year….CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Yes it is something to look forward to. I hope that you are going to do something special for yourself because you deserve it. When I came up on a year I was so proud of myself. SI is something that is very difficult to quit. I think because it is such a secretive behavior eh. I think it would be great for you to share how you did it to give some newbee’s some hope. Sure going to SAFE is a huge plus, but not all can go. I know for me I still do impulse logs and stuff like that. I have incorporated the logging to my every day issues. Like if I’m super crabby sometimes I will do a log to help me figure out why that is. So what the secret to success?
Congratulations 🙂 I’m glad life is going so well!!!
