And so I have reached six whole years since I made the life-changing decision to go through topical steroid withdrawal, only basing my choice on a few articles I had read online and a gut instinct that I was doing the right thing.
To this day I have never felt so sure about anything as I was on the night of Thursday 6th June 2013 when I googled ‘addicted to topical steroids’ and found the answer I had been waiting a very long time to find.
I can summarise how my skin has been since my last anniversary post in one sentence: no issues, just a pair of slightly chapped and wrinkly hands when it gets very cold. That’s it. I don’t really get dry lips anymore and I can't even remember the last time I had a rash. Seriously.

In the last four years that I have been sharing my skin story, I have met people within our community who have inspired me; some have even become friends. Life is funny like that. From something so terrible, the positives have by far outweighed the negatives.
Whatever your current feelings towards this process are, always remember that this is your decision and yours alone to make.
What a ride it has been x
