Rap,

I just wanna say here that I completely agree with you. It's so easy for a cutter to cut, verses an alcoholic having to get drunk or a drug addict popping pills. You can go anywhere, anytime, and have the tools you need to feed your addiction. But one aspect of cutting involves the control, and how much control can you be in if it runs your life? I'm happy that you talked to your T about it, and that she is finally coming around to embrace the severity of your cutting (not necessarily acute, but chronic) and the fact that you are addicted to it. But why torture yourself by taking the knife out and playing with it? I know once I do that it's as good as over for me, because then I know it's not only on my mind but that I'm contemplating. Contemplation is the quickest path to action, if you ask me. Atleast on my part when it comes to cutting.

But 7 weeks! Awwwwwwesome. That's coming up on 2 months. Two months! Think about that. How awesome is it? I'll answer that for ya - completely awesome. You rock, keep it up! Remember we're here for you, and so is your therapist. We want you to do good.
