Hi, saw my T today. She gave me the option of either using my self injury weapon (as she calls it) and stop seeing her or throw it away and continue therapy.

I know I need to throw it away and I want to continue seeing her but can't seem to just take it and throw it away. I feel I need a slower approach. A 2 or 3 step plan would be nice. Thought of just picking a day, putting it in a place hard to get to and then maybe a week later throwing it away. I do not self injury on a daily basis. Only when it's really stressful. Can go many months without SI.

Sorry I did not put this in Self Injury folder, but tried and only got 2 responses. Would really like to hear how anyone with an addiction (drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or self injury) stopped. Really need some ideas. Need to tell her my plan next week.

Thanks for your help!!
