Hey, I was recently looking back at my one month without cutting and trying to figure out how I did it. My secret-red washable marker, or red washable paint. I would do exactly what I would to with a knife, but with something harmless. I would do it right before I take a shower and it was like this whole cleansing process. I could act on the impulse, get the same feelings out (somewhat) and not have he regret or anger towards myself afterwards. I hope you find this to be helpful in you journey. Thank you!(:
