Even though you feel nothing has changed, I'm sure things have. I'm sure you have grown up over those years. And fought the urges harder. Theres proof in you doing that this week and I know that must have been hard for you.
Stopping cutting is a big deal, but you do need to develop other coping strategies to replace it.
Have you ever done DBT? That is helpful in helping you build up coping strategies.
Have you ever done a WRAP? That could also be helpful in managing a crisis, and what things you may do to cope safely.
I'm glad you are going to keep it low-key. Try and remember its just one day and it will be over in 24 hours. I believe you can get through it safely.
Perhaps you could go out for the day shopping or something to keep yourself occupied.
