Hey there,

Well, everyone is different and every person has alternatives that work or don't work for them. This means that there isn't a 100% chance that what works for me works for you. But, it's awesome that you are giving this a try, and I hope it works for you!

For me, it does work. What helps me along is having someone I care about draw the butterfly on me, or I name it. That way, it has even more special meaning and I have even more motivation not to cut. Maybe you can do something similar, either name it or have someone draw it on you, and it'll help.

All in all though I do have a good experience with the butterfly project and I tend to not cut at least until the butterfly fades, and by that point there's a good chance the urge will have gone.

I hope that you have similar results! Stay strong!
