• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Today is 4 weeks :). I can't believe I have made it. This is the longest I have gone since last summer.

Congratulations! I know how hard it can be! Isn't it a wonderful feeling - to see how Christ can work in your life? I have been 15 days and each and every day is a victory. God bless you in your continued struggle. YOu are never alone.

I was away from this forum for 4 weeks, and you were, too!

I am certain your confidence in Jesus is growing as the number of days increases. I suggest that you get into reading the Bible on a daily basis. You will become even stronger.

I am also certain that SI has become "smaller" to you than before. It used to be a giant like Goliath. But now you see it not as threatening as it used to. That is the nature of all bad habits.

When we are gripped by a bad habit, it seems like a giant. But as we grow in the grace of the Lord, we see clearly how insignificant bad habits really are. They are nothing more than a dirt that can be easily washed away with soap and water.

Sorry I talked too much. I was so excited to read your post. Let us lift our best thanksgiving to Jesus our Lord.

Rupert

PS: I am bouncing, too, with joy.

Believers don't look back. Believers don't lose sight of Jesus. Believers don't lose heart for the words of the Bible. That's what matters, not a cut here and a cut there.

What counts is that you have tasted the joy of not cutting for 31 days. Do not sigh. Rather, as you relive the joy, give thanks to the Lord Jesus, as I am giving thanks to Jesus now because of your joy.
