Relapse

Oh no, I
Almost broke.
Today was centimeters
Away from breaking me,
And then there go two months
Of recovery.

The scars are still there,
Faded, yet there.
Today I wanted to add
More.

But my arms are just
Scarred, and I'm two months
Clean.

I just hope I can make it to three.

I know it is easier said than done, however, just take one day at a time and try to refrain from such stress inducers that precipitate those reoccurring relapses. Keep a journal handy and write when you at the pinnacle to want to self-mutilate.

Two months is a very nice path of progressing forward I will attest

I am rooting for your progress my poetess...
