maybe you should try my steps. they may or may not work, but hey, at least it's a try.

You will get there, but let me tell you, it won't happen overnight. You can't just do it one last time and never again, it won't work, and will only make you feel worse about yourself. There will be slip ups; but that's fine. Try talking to him about why you do it, and how you are going to try to stop. If you are comfortable, you could ask him to help you, if you trust him, and feel he understands you.

Do things that are distracting. Being with people is always the best. It forces you to be with others, so you aren't alone, and have to way to cut. Also, writing or drawing how you feel and then shredding the paper can work for some people are well.

Finally, there is the butterfly project. (More information about it here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1473489#poststop), and here. (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=84655)



Good Luck, and the only way to achieve your goal is if you believe in yourself!

You can do it!
