I've stopped picking for 3 days!

I stopped picking Friday night. I washed my hair really well so I'd have no excuses. Its been three days my scabs have closed and I was actually able to go get my hair cut without being embarrassed and was able to dye my hair without it causing pain. Hopefully I can keep it up. I've been really trying to pay attention to when I pick and stopping before I get to it. So far its been working. My anxiety goes way up when I stop myself but it fades after a few minutes. Its just getting over the initial part and then things are good to go. I'm happy about it, I feel like I actually have some control back.
