Restarting the Counter

I am going to restart the Freedom Timer.
I just don't know when. In the coming days, I think.
To be honest with myself and with all of you, I think it
makes sense to restart the timer.

I just want to be sure that I'm going to keep my word
to myself this time.
The next time I restart the timer will be the last time.

I have had too many set-backs to be able to say I've
been permanently freed from trich. There has been major progress,
to be sure; and I am great with that and where I am now.
I never got to post a picture of my best progress, but I will when I
get there again. There is little left of my lashes and brows at the moment,
and when I think of it, it makes me laugh. I don't know why. But it beats
crying. Just this reaction tells me that there's been a shift on a much
deeper level. I need a little time to be with this level and wait for
any new insights. But to tell you the truth, I am all insighted-out. I'm all
plucked out. I can't think about it anymore and I can't not think about it anymore.
Hmmm, maybe that means I'm reaching an equilibrium with it. Now, there's an insight. An insight that is new, exciting, and moves me. We may be restarting that timer sooner that we thought!

Look for it in the coming days.

I thank those of you who have written privately and on the blog with your own stories and your support of my journey. We are on this journey together. So far, I've heard from women only. I'd love to hear from any guys with trich. This is a safe place for you, too. Your stories inspire me and I am moved each time to realize how much we have in common and thank G-d we have found each other and none of us has to cope with trich on his/her own. Check out the posts from other readers.

You haven't posted in a while. Are you okay? I am also a female hair puller and went 5 months without pulling. Then started up again. I also have Abby's Pull Free program but can't get past the first few execises. Let me know how you are doing. Mel
