I don't know if anyone has already posted this but, I read (I forgot where) that it takes at least 6 weeks of using the rubber bands and snapping them when you get the urge to pick, for it to begin to change the urges and behavior. I want to try this, has anyone here used it for that long and not get results?

Ive tried...but sadly I like the pain. I use the band snapping as an alternative to cutting myself. I stopped cutting back in June and havent done it since. I dont think theres a period of time for snapping a rubber band. If you have the will power in you to stop you can. With or without a rubber band.

Incubabe, I used to cut also. I haven't cut in about 6 months. I think picking is also another way of my self mutilation sometimes.  |
