Answers:
I've been free of cutting for a year and a half after having a problem for 6 years. What I would do/and still do from time to time that I start to even think about it, is look at all the scars on my arms. I remembered how embarassed I'd be when people asked me what they were from and you could only say a cat so many times. I also wanted to prove to myself that I was stronger than my desires. I'd always let my desire take over in the past. Now it became a challenge. I had to prove to myself that I could control my own mind. Whatever happened that made me think of cutting myself, I'd try to switch my mind over to something different. I'd call a friend and just chat or throw one of my favorite movies on or go to the gym. I'd have to distract myself because I knew if I allowed myself to think about how cutting would alleviate it, I'd wind up giving in and I HAD to know that I was stronger than that. And clearly so are you, otherwise you wouldn't have accomplished so much already! Congratulations and please feel free to let me know if there's anything else you need help with!!
