Listen to music that makes you want to lift up your head and shout (it may not be your normal type of music, but trust me it works; try some of the big classical symphonies or really epic music. I tend to use power metal). Spend time with friends who don't cut. Write a poem or a song about how you feel; let it bleed out emotionally rather than physically.
Take your feelings out on something (not someone) else. For example, kickboxing, ballet, music; anything that you can distract yourself with. I warn you: the addiction never goes away. It'll always be there, like an itch. The most you can do is distract yourself.
Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your wrist when you feel the urge to cut. That's what I do. It may help distract you from thinking about it and it stings, so you still get the sense of pain. **Hurting yourself in even the smallest ways is not okay. You should seek medical treatment. **I'm not a doctor, I don't recommend this for anyone. But it's better than cutting yourself, in my opinion.
