Advice on stopping to cut?

[romes3]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to stop cutting/deal with emotions...

Background:

I've been cutting for 3 years now, and have tried many different ways to stop. The most recent was wearing rubber bands on my wrists and snapping them when I felt like cutting. I lasted about 5 months with this method, and its the longest I've ever gone without cutting.

If that technique works for you then carry it on, relapsing is part of recovery. But other techniques can be the ice cube thing where you put your razors or whatever you use to self-harm in water and freeze them so whenever you feel the urge to cut you have to wait for them to melt out and by then hopefully the urge will have gone. There's many more techniques, tumblr is quite a good place to find them.
