Red Opium.

Well, now that is all pretty true, but thing is, I mean, everyone knows here that SI is hard to stop. And for someone that cuts, burns, w/e, it's safer for them to do this, it's a step down. It's very hard to stop doing something like this and then just try and do something else that has nothing to do with hurting yourself.

It's not saying you're going to do this forever, but it's a step away from SI, it's safer, and after this stage, then move on to something safer than snapping a rubber band. This stage will also give you a safer time to find something else that will work and is even safer.
