I can honestly say I know what you're going through. I'm 16 and started cutting when I was 9. I stopped for almost a year at one point, but like you say, it's a drug in a way. For me cutting became not only an emotional release, but a physical need. I couldn't go 3 hours without cutting. so trust me, I know how you feel. As far as quitting, the only way I stopped for as long as I did was because I thought of all the people who I hurt because I was cutting. And even then I still came very close to cutting many times over. I won't wear short sleeves anymore or if I do, I have to wear a jacket. I guess the only way you can honestly stop, is to find something that means more to you than cutting. I started back up because the people I stopped for stopped caring about me. So I'll have to find another reason.
