Way to go

When SKR and I were woking on my cutting I couldn't go cold turkey and knock out ALL of my Self injury ways at once. Things would just build up until I would end up cotting beyond control.

So then I decided totry something different stop only one thing at a time starting with the mose severe. When that one was in control then work on the next one. Well I went a full year of no cutting and sliding back into it. So then I started controling the next most severe way but I cam very close to cutting again so I gave in. That told me that I needed more time of no cutting before I took out another. So I gave myself 3 months more and then tried again. This time I lasted a month without cutting and the next one I am knocking out before I slid into the next one BUT I did not cut.

Maybe taking out only one at a time will help you too. maybe give it another 6 months before you try taking another one out.

Hang in there.
