Claiming to Stop and The 12 Steps

I know many of us want to stop and i know ALOT have said they did and re-started in a short amount of time just after that.Cutting or any type of self-injury is an addiction if it goes far enough..

So I found something that is used for alcoholics but it can also be used for any other type of addiction so here are the well known 12 Steps:

 

• Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable
• Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
• Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a greater power as we understood this greater power
• Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
• Step 5 - Admitted to this Greater Power, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
• Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have the greater power remove all these defects of character
• Step 7 - Humbly asked this greater power to remove our shortcomings
• Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
• Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
• Step 10 - Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it
• Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with  the greater power as we understood the greater power, praying only for knowledge of greater power will for us and the power to carry that out
• Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
