Can I see your scars?

Please no negative comments...
The first set of pictures is before, the second is after, including the scars on my wrist. The collage kind of makes them hard to see, but...
The first set of pictures was one of the last times I ever self-harmed.
I am today 267 days clean and counting.
Yes, I went from horribly mutilating my body to not even thinking about harming it hardly ever.
Have I considered relapsing? Yes, several times. But I chose not to. I chose to be strong, for my family, for my friends, for you guys, and for myself.
I just want to you to know, no matter how bad your self-harm is, or how long you've done it, recovery is possible. I self-harmed for five years, and look at me now.
It totally controlled my life. I had to struggle to hide my cuts all the time and I let a fucking razor control me. I was just its puppet. I carried it with me everywhere, turned to it for everything. And it was a mistake. I only realized it was a mistake after five years, but I don't want you guys to have to wait that long to realize it.
I've been there, and I've recovered.
If you are there, you can recover.
My scars aren't the worst, and I'm thankful for that, but my self-harm did get bad..
I realized that and I told myself it couldn't continue.
Only a month after this photo, I stopped self-harming. October 31, 2013 is the day I decided to save my life.
I want you guys to have a date too, a date you saved and changed your life for the better.
Stay strong. You can. I promise you can. I did.
And please, don't think I did this for any reason other than because I want to help you guys. I want to show you, you can go from the first set of pictures to the second. I'm shaking as I'm writing this. It makes me cry to see anyone with cuts. I wish everyone could recover.. Please, guys, stay strong. I really promise you can. Come to me any time you need help. I love you guys...
