Feature 1

I was twelve years old when I first began to self-harm. At twenty-five, I performed my last act of physical self-harm, but it would not be for another ten years that I dealt with the issues that brought me to this behavior in the first place. You might say that in those ten years I was practicing sobriety, but not recovery.
