Try remembering where you were when you stopped. Do you really want to go back there? Call someone you're accountable to and be honest tell them you are wanting to use. Out yourself in a meeting. If you hide it chances are you will relapse. And if you do, don't give up! Start over again ASAP. Good luck.

@Silverlady: yes i know i probably should've specified. When i feel too much pain inside... i let it out through pain.

@dreamaway: through physical pain

Oh, I understand. I would say the same thing. No matter drugs, cutting or gambling an addiction is an addiction. Talk with someone you can trust. Also take an ice cube place it where you would cut. I have read that takes the urge away. @dreamaway:
