I don't know this is so OT but
When I was in the hospital the nurse said that anything, SI, drugs, anything like that if you can go a MONTH (thats 30 days) it will started to decrease (meaning it will get easier and easier to go w/o it)
ANYthoughts?
I always tell myself
If I can make it today/if I made it today
I can make it tomarrow
If I can make it two days I can make it one more
If I can make it a week I can make it one more
I just keep going like that and try to focus on that less than focus on "Today is going tobe such a struggle"
I dunno...It helps me
Easier after a month, any thoughts?

usually things don't go well when i start being bothered by what might be/probably will be...
'today is going to be such a struggle' 'tomorrow is going to be really hard' etc.
if i'm actually planning it through & being realistic then it can be ok.. 'today is going to be hard because i have to meet my parents for lunch. i will get through it. & then i'll go run'
i dunno that i believe the 30 days thing... i think after a point then it will get easier.. generally speaking. i just don't buy that it's 30 days for everyone. to know that you can go 30 days could be a really good thing in & of itself though

I do think it gets easier with time, but I think the point when it gets easier, is different for everyone.

Today is my 28th day without SIing, and it's been a lot easier as the days go by and the number gets higher. I have my moments of where I want to, but I've kept to my promise of a month straight. I am 4 days away from my 1-month.
I sometimes tell myself that in the morning because it prepares me for what's to come. It actually does help because I can build my guard up and defend myself from triggers, pain, etc.
Take care.
