Quote From: angel_jessi am not sure if this belongs here but oh well i am addicted to a drug but it isn't a hard core drug like crack, meth, or even pot. actually it ain't considered a drug. my drug is cutting. i no longer cut to feel better. now i cut because i am addicted to it. i was wondering if anyone else was and if you got over it.

Well i am not sure if you want to hear from me but I know quite a few teens who have stopped cutting themselves. I myself can understand to some degree, I am an addict and I abused myself for many years. I believe that you are getting a rush from the cutting, and you need to get some help. I pray you have told someone who can get you the help you need.
Please don't take over where someone else left off: in hurting you. You can stop the pain without causing yourself more physical damage. And I do feel on some degree that I get the rush cutters get, I am a tattooed person, and I always felt a rush with every tattoo, and when I get very upset and my sponsor in no where to be found I must admit the first thing that comes to my mind is "Boy I would like to just go and get another tattoo", but I don't. I have been in a 12 step program for a long time and I thank my Higher Power for saving me from myself. Please get Help! Find a way to LOVE yourself and please don't mutilate your body any more. And as far as the teens I know some of them have gone through their church, some have been in rehabs like a drug rehab facility, and some have gone to counseling, but I do know ONE THING FOR CERTAIN THEY ALL GOT HELP!!!!!!
