I do the same and I too would like to know the same.

It's kind of funny... we are all in the same boat. I shoplift myself... I feel weird doing so because I am 25, it's not like I am doing robbery, but I still do cut anyway.I get in the habit of shoplifting since I was 13. I would like to know the answer to your question too lol

Yea I USE TO shoplift when I was younger too. I think its like an adrenalen high that you get when you do it. I understand it. Its tough, cause I dont want you to hurt yourself, but I dont want you to get in trouble with the law either, because eventually you do get caught, no matter how good you think you are.
Give God a try. He is the One and ONLY one that can heal you. But you have to let him.

I've shoplifted and cut myself. Both give you that high. That 'I feel alive' rush kind of high. I would say cutting is somewhat worse but neither are healthy ways to cope with life. I have cut,shoplifted,smoked crack,lied,cheated and betrayed. It never got me anywhere and it never would have. Substituting one addiction for another will just have you running in circles for the rest of your life. Its a lot harder to deal with life and the feelings that go along with it than it is to cut or steal. Trust me,you'll never have any true relief by doing these things.
I've had my freedom taken away so many times i've lost count because of these things. I would rather not cut and have my freedom than cut and be a prisoner of myself. Its not worth it in the long run. Try to look ten years from now...would you still want to living your life this way? You come to your own conclusion. I have.

I used to do it but don't anymore. I guess it's not the same but it kind of is. Stealing usually has more consequences than SI. But then i guess that depends on the circumstanses. You are just replacing one harmful behaviour with another but you probably know that. I'd try to stop and get help if you can.
