How to stop longer?

[xStar64]

Hey everyone, I haven't been on in like a year. And I actually just told my friends about my self harm last month. Today is the official month marker for stopping. The longest stop yet.

I'm wondering if there is a way to stay out of it for good. Some nights I just can't breathe. I once threw my pair of specialized scissors out a window.
Any help or stories are greatly appreciated.

You just have to keep yourself distracted at all times, it's hard I know but it is key to recovery. You may slip up here and there but you're human and that happens. As long as your remain determined and have self faith, you'll be able to do it. If you fall down, get right back up. Try and calm yourself when you get the urges, do some meditation, listen to the rain ie: this. (http://www.rainymood.com/) That is of course assuming you ike the sound of rain. Do things that take your mind off of the urge and stay focused. You're stronger than you think you are.

The best way to keep off it for good is to keep fighting and never give up, no matter how much you feel like giving up, don't. It's a terrible addiction but it is beatable as long as you want to beat it. This (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=190748) thread has a bunch of ways to help you with quitting and such. Keep fighting :hug3:

Like both Sio and Nat said. Do those. they help. also you can play video games, read anything to keep your mind occupied.

Find a hobby and whenever you feel like cutting go do the thing you like
