I'm sorry, that's really defeatist.
I really shouldn't even post this, but apparently I'm a horrible enough person that I'm going to anyway.

If you stopped cutting then it would be a choice to be gentler towards yourself. That would be progress. You may or may not be in recovery from the underlying issue but you would be choosing not to let this be part of your life. I'm like you my si isn't habitual but I took the step not to continue and try to be a bit more like the stronger me.
