"But you chose to cut!" First of all, not all decisions are of sound mind. I would argue that someone with a sound mind wouldn't "choose" to cut themselves in the first place, let alone with a drill bit as they hyperventilate. A drill bit of all things, something very unconventional. Secondly, it isn't as easy as just stopping. If the root cause of self-harm still exists, then self-harm would still occur. I pretty much cope with my self-hate by, indeed, self-harm. I haven't done so in months until a couple of days ago, but still. For me, self-hate and self-harm are in unison. If I continue to hate myself, I will still harm myself eventually. Whether that be in a year or even in a few more days, it's inevitable. Of course, I don't expect normies to understand that. Everything is so easy for them with their bullshit "If I can, so can you!" attitude.
And, yeah, there might be some overlap with self-harm and drug addiction. Some. A common reason for drug addiction is escapism. I guess some who harm themselves do want to escape, though that's not my case. I just want to punish myself as I feel I deserve it. So, it infuriates me when people paint me with the same brush without even trying to understand me. I explain my reasons ad nauseam and it always reverts to people assuming I just want the endorphins from it. In reality, I don't care about endorphins. I don't enjoy doing it, hence why I try to go months without doing it. But, again, normies will never understand anything that doesn't fit their narrative.
