The way I stopped...

[ObamaBiden08]

this is the way I stopped cutting:
1. I started going outside more(fresh air).
2. I never went near my knives till my dad got rid of them.
3. Put all of my black clothes and etc. in a safe and forgot combo.


And that is pretty much it. I bet You think it is harder than this but I was able to get past it. and I believe in you that you can stop cutting if you do cut.

3. Put all of my black clothes and etc. in a safe and forgot combo.

Well done on successfully stopping :)

2. I never went near my knives till my dad got rid of them.

This is a good one and is a good step for anyone trying to stop.

I said number 3 because it helped me wear brighter clothes. Now I'm a cheerful person!

Well done! :) You're obviously really strong and you have a lot of willpower, good on you :)

I have actually tried those things in the past before but it's never seemed to work :S self-injury is almost an addiction to me and I find that it helps and relieves me whenever I'm feeling down. It makes me feel like I'm in control sort of, it's kinda difficult to explain.

I don't think I could ever give it up, no matter how much I really want to.
But still, congratulations to you :)
