Congrats! It's so helpful to hear that others are actually stopping. As of February 13 I've gone a year without cutting.

A super big congrats to you too! It is so encouraging to know that others are experiencing success too! I hope I can make it another year and that the next twelve months are easier than the last. I wish you the best of luck as you begin your second year injury free!
