I went for so long.

Gods.

Will the urge ever go away?

Writing poetry is one of the best ways to release your pain and anger. I know it helps me and the best thing about poetry is you can write about whatever you want. Poetry has helped me through some rough times when I have just wanted to cut.

If poetry is not your thing try  writing your thoughts down in a journal and that way only you can look at it. This is also a wonderful way to release anger. The good thing about  writing in a journal you can take it with you anywhere you go and you can just pull it out and write down your thoughts when you feel the urge to cut.

Lastly what you could do is paint. painting is a wonderful way to release pain and hurt. There is no rules for painting. This can also become a hobby if you find out you like it. The best thing about this is you don't have to paint a picture you can just paint your emotions.

Keep these tips in mind and you should not have any more urges to cut. Remember when you feel the urge to cut do something else instead. Write poetry,or writein a journal or just pant.

Right now, you need to convince yourself that you've been doing very well, and you just had a little slip. Start the "days sober" over again, and move on in a positive direction.

I always allow myself to think about doing it-- I go through the motions in my mind... and sometimes that's enough. I have to try and let it be enough for me. I know you can get through this... just don't let one little slip get you down. Be proud of the progress you've made.
