I'm addicted to cutting myself. I get an endorphin rush and a relief and numbing from it much like getting drunk brings. I know there is an SI forum too, but for me this is rooted in the painful past and coping mechanisms but it has become an addiction.

My dad is an alcoholic and crack/cocaine addict so I've got a major predisposition to addictions. I've stayed far away from drugs, and I do drink but follow strict rules. Funny though how I still managed to find something self destructive.
