I noticed that the majority of the times that I self injure is when I am under the influence of alcohol. I monitor my drinking habits carefully for a few reasons like 1. Major history of alcoholism in the family and 2. Easier to self injure when I am drunk and 3. I can get majorly depressed when i am drunk. I try to make sure I am only drink when the situation is appropriate like dinner parties or the like and NOT when I am home alone feeling sad.
