Finding alternatives to cutting is a very important step to being able to get through feelings that you want to stop by self injuring. What works for me is making my own personal list of alternatives (from or not from this following list) and move through the list, doing one thing than the next. I rarely made it to the end of my list.
Good luck to you if you wish to stop self injuring, and for those of you who are not ready to stop, maybe try some alternatives occasionally... it can't hurt. :-) Take care of yourselves.
