Well, I would be a hypocrite to tell you that what you're doing is awful and you should stop and get help. So... I'm not.
I still cut. A lot. I still drink. A lot. I'm actually a bit against drugs because where I live pretty much everyone is into them and I've seen way to many people I love and care about end up hurt or in jail or in rehab or dead because of them.
Cutting is, I swear, the worst addiction in the world. Well, maybe not, but I'm guessing you know what I mean. It's not an easy thing to stop. Now, the suckiest part about stopping, is that there is no pill and no one else can do it for you. You have to want to stop and you have to make up your mind that you are going to stop.
Drinking I'm not going to give you much sympathy for. I know, you know, and everyone else knows, that with a tiny bit of effort and a tiny bit of guilt and remorse you will be able to stop just fine.
Now, drugs are hard. Dependency on those little sons of a b***h is, well, a b***h. But just think of how some people get sooo messed up on that s**t. I mean, I don't know exactly what you're taking, so I can't really give you any advice on how to really stop. But, this is an addiction that's beyond difficult to shake.
Anyways, I have been told by many people that I make a pretty good therapist. (or as I like to call them, shrinks.) I've finally been able to get rid of most of the grief and fear and anger from my past and use it to help people. So, if you would like a shrink that is not 10,000 years old, doesn't stare you down, and doesn't pry into your pretty little head, then please PM me. I would love to help you get through this.
Good luck and God bless,
~ Livia heart

I'm not going to tell you that it's "wrong and awful and contemptable" because I've had to watch my friends struggle everyday with drugs, sex, and alcohol. This is something that you will find temptation in for a lifetime. But everyday that you resist, is another day accomplished, when you cry at night, think of something that makes you happy, I know it's hard when you despair. I used to cut when I blamed myself for my life, I saw nothing happy in it, I still have deep scars from it. I used to drink, smoke, and cut, that was my life. BUT, I've been sober and cut-free for 3 years now. I still have the temptation to dip into the happy bottle, but I don't, because when that happens, I pray to God to help through it, and he does, everytime.
Here's something for you
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The strength to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
Footprints
A man and God were walking on a beach
one day. The man looked down at his footrpints
he was leaving in the sand. He asked God
"why is it that in the hardest times in my life,
I looked behind me and only saw one set of
footprints? Didn't you say you would always
be there for me?" God looked at him and smiled
"my dear child, on the times when you looked behind
and saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you."
