urges to burn are returing and getting worse

So the last time I burned was in October and its been 3-4 months, I tried to in early December but with the way I do it the metal got cold because the the lighter died before it was hot enough so I really don't count that. But anyway, lately the urges to burn again are returning and getting worse everyday and I really don't want to be back to burning and cutting together like I used to. By that I mean be a burner and cutter instead of just cutting. I really don't know what to do!

I'd suggest get rid of lighters. They only tempt you, and if you need a flame for other things like if you smoke, you can use matches. I know it's not ideal, but it'll go out before the metal gets hot enough.

I understand, Just burnt again for the first time in forever, do prefer it to cutting now.
As said, best thing is to rid of anything which will tempt you, depending on the situation you're in, try and find other distractions. Is there anything that gives a similar sensation or release without the harm? Holding icecubes, for instance? Just try something. Always here if you need to talk. <3
