I actually disagree. Cutting is simply a coping mechanism. It isn't really all that different from popping an Ativan, smoking a cigarette, having a drink...etc. (probably a bit safer too) It takes a lot of will power and white knuckling to go from impulsive cutting to a controlled less frequent slice.
Good for you for working on it CrazyLife...I know first hand how difficult that is. I know that eventually you will be able to replace those controlled cuts with a more accepted form of coping.
