Seven

I've been so busy and preoccupied with work, Danielle's wedding, trying to get this new job, and everything else in my life that I almost forgot yesterday was my anniversary. It's been seven years since I last self-injured/self-mutilated. It hasn't been easy and temptation is still there but I've made it this far without  a relapse. I'm thankful and grateful for all the people in my life that have supported me. It's been a trying seven years to say the least and everyday is still a challenge. Of course some days are better than others but I have enough will and strength to not go back to that, at least I like to think so. I've come pretty far in my life. Even with everything I have going on right now, I'm proud of where I've been and how far I've come. It's no easy task but I did it and will continue to do so.

On a different note: my background check cleared and I have to do some training and then I start on the 18th! I'm super nervous and excited all at once.
