Cutting

[Kpt1997]

I was 4 years clean from cutting; then something happened and now the addiction to it is back. It’s just the release that I crave. Elastic bands and sharpies don’t work for me because it’s the physical release of the pain I keep bottled up that makes me cut. What can I do to stop this? I don’t want to cut, I don’t like my scars, but I haven’t found anything else that takes away the numbness.

Addictions are hard and slip ups are common… Don’t be too hard on yourself you beat it once before try to remember what worked last time they kept you clean for four years...Hang in there!
