Day two - Total bust!
Today was my second day of actively trying to stop picking... I cant resist it :(. I didnt realise how STRONG the urge was. I cant even really call it day two. More just the fact that its the second day i have tried, failed both days miserably!
I dont know Ill be able to do this :( I try and try but i just cant stop.

Hey. firstly id like to say congratulations. the choice to stop takes alot of courage. :) I got about that far too... we dont realise how strong something like this is until we try to fight it. Its not easy, its not going to be easy. But the bottom line is...we can stop. We can regain this control in our lives and not be mastered by something so destructive. Im back onto day one tomorrow; mirrors turned around, facial mask waiting for me in the morning and candles for the night time. Its going to take alot, especially for the first few days. Have a read through the tips in this forum...they help alot. Im even considering if these tips fail, seeing a psychologist :) Whatever it takes. Don't give up. Set backs are set backs and they'll come, especially in the first few days when our skins all wounded. We have every right to regain what this has stolen from us. :)
