As everyone else said, 5 days!! WOOT!! I'm proud of you UM!
As for your question, I get where your coming from. When I was stopping the hardest was seeing the cuts heal. I kept wanting to add more because it didn't feel right without something fresh. For me, I would seek out triggers, but it's very similar. Actualy, your way is more honest IMO. Still, recognizing that behavior is the key to overcoming it.
proud of you for the great progress you've made!
