I've been cutting for years but finally stopped about a year ago. About a month ago I started having the urge to cut so badly I could actually visualize and feel the slice of the razor on my skin. A few weeks ago I broke down and started cutting again. Now I'm cutting regular and don't know how or if I can stop. Every time I need a release of any kind I pick up a razor. How do you get over the urges? Or has anyone ever gotten over it?

GOOD LUCK!
