The way I am stopping it is going day by day. When I first started to work on it my therapist and I knew it was impossible for me to stop cold turkey I've been Self injury for 30 years. so first we worked on the severity - changing the preferred type of Self injury to a less intense one. After a while instead of just cutting and it resulting in stitches I was able to get the same release from something like punching my leg, drawing on myself with a marker, taking a hot bath. that way cutting was not the immediate and preferred way anymore. I found out different things work for different strengths of emotional release needed. Once that was done then I would go only one day then do the least intense type release. Then I would go two days and then intentionally do that lease intense type release. Then three ..four.. and so on. By giving myself the release BEFORE I got upset at something and BEFORE the need built up to the unmanageable explosion level of cutting has put my length of time between cutting at about 6 months-8 months between cuttings. Right now Im at 8 months and do not have the urge to cut. and I can last up to 30 days now on the others. So over time they also are decreasing. Because I intentionally put into this my having release times I don't have the guilt and other emotions of letting myself down and letting others down when I do cut or other things. My present therapist knows I self injure but its not a part of our conversations. She knows I'm working on it and thats all that matters.
