Don't worry, it's going to be fine. I'm proud of you for admitting your problem, as that's the beginning to recovery. Going cold turkey is tough, it works for some, and for others, it doesn't work out so good. I was a heavy cutter myself, and it was really hard for me to give it up. You said you tried rubber bands, but I know a few other distractions that might help you.

Also I really hope that you find something other than smoking to calm down. I'm not telling you to quit, but I just think it isn't healthy for you.

There are lots of people here who were just like you, and are willing to help. I understand that you want to quit, and this is the place to get help.

I cut about 3 times a day it's really hard to control and you shouldn't feel your the only one that can't stop. A good thing to help make sure things don't get worse is to not isolate your self from others because you begin to feel bad about it or feel depressed. Try to talk and hang around with people as much as you can. I started to not talk with my friends as much and never talked to my family, then I started to bunk off school sometimes for a week at a time then stayed in bed at weekends it ended badly when I tryed to kill my self ( can't even do that right) but it is so easily avoided if you really make an effort to keep in touch with your friends. Sometimes it's them that help you to stop. And support is allways good

Hun, I started properly cutting at 9 but hurting myself at 7, smoking at 10. Im TRYING to give up harming, and ... well as for the smoking ... I am not planning on giving that up anytime soon lol (Im not proud of any of it by the way lol). I know we are 2 different people but, I came a long way, I know you can come JUST as far as me, just have some hope (: I understand you want to stop harming your body in all ways but, smoking is fine, its nothing compared to harming. Smoking is ok as a coping mechanism, just dont abuse the smokes ... like add shit to it.

Maybe your going through a tough time, your worried or stressed or something. Find out whats bugging you, and try and solve it. Im here if you ever need anything hun. Just leave me a message.
:hug:

I smoked for about six months.
It really depends how badly you wanna stop.
If you wanna chat then V.T. Me.. :3

I tried cutting once. It wasn't my fancy. I started smoking a year ago to calm down. I feel quite a bit of teens start smoking as a way to self medicate but that is my reasoning. I hoped that helped. :-)

Instead of bumping it as well, you could report the bump and our mods would get to it more quickly. That way, you leave the mods to their work, and also help out instead of posting an off-topic response.
