I'm 39 and cut in my mid-twenties. I've only recently cut--maybe six months ago? and only a few times (usually when I was drunk & having a depressed episode). I'm since cut down significantly on my drinking--just social drinking once a week and not getting drunk. I was having a very low episode today sans alcohol, crying for hours on end. I definitely had the urge but didn't act on it. it's like the alcohol is a strong "motivator" (for lack of better word) for me to actually go through with it. I guess they don't call it liquid courage for nothing.

I've always wondered--do most cutters si when they are sober?
