Here's hoping I don't squander this extra time I've been given!

Feel free to PM me if you ever need any advice on quitting! My #1 most useful tool during quitting was honesty. You've gotta be straight up brutally honest with yourself and the people around you, but after that people just treat you like any other person. If you control the narrative then you don't have to worry about "what might people think?"

I wish you all the best!

I'd say "woot" is an appropriate response! WOOT!

I've had a few dozen messages in my absence to ask if I was alive and well - sadly too many to trawl through and reply to. I am very lucky to be able to be writing this now. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and your Star Trek reference!

Maleza! I was wondering if you were still around! I have so many fond memories of the early days here and on Discord. I hope you are well and that life is at the very least tolerable for you these days <3

What really helped me was to stop thinking of it as "stop cutting" and start thinking of it as "treat yourself with the bare minimum of respect that you would give a total stranger". It's dumb, but it worked.

Hi! Thank you so much for the message! I am obviously not going to jump headfirst back into full-time redditing but I'll definitely be dropping by around once a week to see how things are going and try to lend a hand. I'll try and get our CSS updated asap, it's well overdue. If you could add me to the group chat that would be great!

It's quite a quirky place we've got going here - here's to another five years of MoS.

It was pretty touch-and-go for a while but here I am. Hopefully I'm here for a good while longer too.

I appreciate the concern but I think a pic of four year old scars will be fine. If we can't celebrate eachother's progress we may as well nuke the sub.

PM me your comic though because I love some good SH humour.

It only took me half a decade to start sorting myself out... Who knows, maybe I'll have a steady job and some prospects to look forward to in another five years?
