Yes I have. It can be a real temptation. But remember that if you keep temptations around you will be more likely to fall back into it. The hardest thing is breaking away from habits. You should be proud of yourself for making it this far. If you fall under temptation ( hated getting told this but) try to find something else to do. Snap a rubber band against your skin. Paint or draw with red paint or pens. I know it can be hard but I love you. You made it this far, you can do anything if you put your mind through it.

With my experience with self harm, I did collect new blades and hid them without using them. In a sense, it became an obsession of mine. I loved being able to see them and imagine using them, but not using them. The best method to removing them is by slowly getting rid of them. The best way is to honestly flush them down the toilet. It's not the best for the sewage system, but you aren't able to get them back. With a garbage can, you can easily dig it out and collect it. Even if you start with getting rid of one, it all counts in the end.
