How To Combat Self-Harm?

I've been cutting since Prep. :( and all that. I don't want to stop like AT ALL but I admit that it isn't a great thing to do in the long run.
I've kept it secret from my family and friends easily.
Does anyone have any alternatives to slashing my wrists and legs open...?
Please reply as soon as you see this post, I'm bleeding RIGHT NOW.

When you get the urge, grab an ice cube.  Let it melt entirely.  It will burn but won't hurt you.  While it's melting, distract yourself with something you enjoy such as your favorite tv show/movie/band.  Best advice my therapist ever gave me.  That and gain the determination to stop.  If you don't have that, you won't be super successful.

How about orgasm. It stimulates the brain in another way.
