For me it has been 4 years and I praise God! I learned I really had self hatred and a lot of deep emotional pain and had to deal with those issues and when I did and learned to love who I am, then I was not so compelled to cut myself.

I also had to forgive those who hurt me over the years. When I forgave those people from my heart, the pain left. I learned that unforgiveness holds that pain in place. It was a process and many times would see those events and had to continue to forgive some people for each event to undo the bondage unforgiveness put me in.

I had to start loving who I am. I would look in the mirror and tell myself "I'm a gorgeous hunk of dust." I started to believe it and you know it helped? I started loving me and learned to ignore those old tapes that told me I was no good, ugly, etc. I started believing God's word for me that I'm made in His image, I'm unique and loved with an everlasting love. It took time but it has been two years now and I'm so grateful I stopped.

Again, I'm so thankful for not self-injuring myself.

It all started when someone told me about a book called "A More Excellent Way, by Henry Wright." I read it and then went to a study group and then went to Georgia for a week long seminar of teaching and ministry and I came out a changed person. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to be free.

I know I'm getting too wordy but I'm just so happy to say I don't do these things any more. If you still do, don't give up. Find a good program to help you get free that is God based.

Thanks for your post Whitedove

I just did it today after several months. I don't think I will ever get over this. When I woke up this morning I would never have thought I would have done this today.

I did it again twice last week after going nearly two months. Last time was Saturday night... Almost 48 hours now... still healing.

aww, dont be upset. We all fall sometimes. I fell a few weeks ago and I was self-injury free for 8 months. We all have those days. Don't worry.
You will be on track in no time! I have faith in you.
