"Once you become a cutter-you die a cutter"
Do you think it's true?

wolfrkm18 03/30/2014

it is only true if you don't fix the "why you cut"

Not necessarily. If the person works on thing and finds a way to quit then I guess over time... I don't even know.

I've been doing it 8 years now and the thought has never left my head for one day.

So I can totally see that it can true too,

People can say anything they want. It's only true if you allow it be.

I think it probably just depends on the individual and the situation... everyone is different and everyone will have different reasons for doing it.

I don't think that's true. I was a year clean, then had a slip up but I'm back to clean now. I think it is something you'll struggle with daily, but I also believe if you want to stop, you can. You'll find a way. Hugs!!!

I think it is different for everyone. A lot of people stop at some point.

Not true for everybody. I cut from age 11 until my late 30's when I was dx with diabetes. The risk of infection and the possibility of losing a limb outweighed the need to cut. For me. Love and luck
