questioning

Is cutting really that bad?
I'm not putting anyone's life in danger, except mine.
I'm not doing any long-term damage to my physical health (scars doesn't count).
And I'm not doing anything illegal
I mean, drinking, which would probably be my second way of coping, is much worse than cutting in every way! The only difference is that it is socially acceptable.
It's just a cut and it makes me feel so much better...
I probably shouldn't be questioning this in a support group website.
