Re: cutting myself
Actually WANTING to stop is a huge first step! Congratulations on that! That's a very hard thing to want, and even harder to follow out.
What I've learned is that cutting isn't the issue, cutting is just the symptom. There was a reason why I first started cutting. I had to really dig through the pain and remember why I first started. What was in my mind that very first time? What pushed me to hurt myself?
After figuring that part out, then I had to work through that. The shame, the guilt, the tears, the anger, frustration... everything.
At times I gave up and went back because the pain of working through it was too much.
But, I could spend a few months working through that pain, the why behind the what, and then lead a happy life where I could concentrate on God and His plan for me instead of my pain.
I went to Mercy Ministries because I KNEW I couldn't do it on my own, and secular treatment didn't help me at all. That was my first big step.
But, wanting to recover is the first step.
Reaching out is also a great step. Have other people you trust, and who have your best interest in mind, help keep you accountable.
And, always keep your eyes on God. Always.

Re: cutting myself
I agree, admitting that you want to stop is a huge step in the right direction
I echo everything that Kerry said.
If you ever want to talk more, just let me know. It's nice to "meet" you. I'm Claudia, by the way.
