I had an agreement with T that I would contact him before I cut. I always cut at night when everyone was in bed, and always felt too guilty to have to contact him at night. It was a big deterrent for me. T put alot of trust in me and I didn't want to let him down in our agreement. Sometimes the torment between needing to cut and having to contact T first drove me crazy (no pun intended) but in the end it did help me avoid the behavior. Being held accountable can really help!

Take care and best wishes!
