i just stopped cutting about a week ago, i found out my friend has the same issue. any ideas on how i could help. i tried telling him to do what i did which was chewing hot cinnamon toothpicks but he wont listen. he cuts out of habit, he said he just started doing for no reason but he wont stop. any ideas, if it involves taking sharp objects away then i would have to kick him out of my house because i collect knives. anything helps
