It is my understanding that people do it because the self inflicted pain distracts them from the emotional pain they are feeling. First you must address your emotional pain. Find out why you are cutting. What is it that you do not want to feel, what pain are you trying to cover up? Then you must address that pain, eliminate that stress from your life. Cutting is an addiction as well. You have to want to stop in order to stop. You just stop doing it, use your will power, be strong. But if you are a cutter you probably need professional help, not particularly to stop cutting but to address the deep emotional pain that you are feeling.
