I cut for a little over two years!. I just recently stopped and have not cut in over a month!. Once you decide to stop, it really has to be a commitment on your part!. You need to tell yourself that you will not cut!. It is super hard though!. There are a few things that you can do instead!. The first thing i recommend you do is to throw away whatever it is you use to cut!. Some things that you can do when you feel the urge to cut are: set a timer for 15 minutes and do something else(usually this is enough time to calm down), write or draw(this is good stimulation for your hands and mind), hold ice in your hand, snap a rubber band on your arm!. All of these may not work for you, but some of them may!. Also, you can make a list of things to do if you get the urge to cut!. I wish you all of the best!.
