I know someone who quit cutting 4 years ago and still feels the urge sometimes when things get rough. I quit cutting for two years and the urge actually did go away for about the first year of that time, but then it came back. After a year of fighting the urge, I gave in and cut again. And then again about 2 1/2 months later. For me, I don't know if the urge will ever go away. I tell myself that once I have worked through my issues, the urge to cut will completely go away because I will have no need of that kind of coping mechanism. I don't know if it's true, but it's what I like to think. And I think my T would probably say the same. So maybe you still have issues to deal with?
