Well, I tend to bite on the inside of my cheek or lip sometimes until it bleeds.  I've done this since I was little and have no clue as to why I do it.  As for trying to break the habit....never thought of breaking it, LOL!!

 Oh i totally do this as well. I was told by a dr once it is considered a nervous habit :-( But i never considered breaking it because really how can you?? LOL I also bite my nails and i hate that because i like to have pretty nails.. I will let them grow out and then i just can not help it and i start picking at them then bite them. my sure fire way to break it..Ha ha i have my nails done so i can not bite them :-)

I bite my nails and have as long as I can remember, my parents tried all of the tricks to get me to stop and I have also tried doing things to quit. As much as I want to quit I seem to not be able to.

I just gave up drinking coffe I totally switched to decaf!  I was getting major panic attacks due to overdrinking it and being a very hyper and overthinking person.  I did it in like 2 weeks or so but weaned myself longer than that it was a battle.  It is my crack and I hated not having it in the mornings and night.  Now I wake up no crack headache lol and just sip my decaf with decaf Vanilla powder, but I guess that's cheating since decaf has like 1% caffeine but still way better than my past addiction to it I am very happy to have kicked it and I know it will be long lasting.  My bad habit right now is FACEBOOK

My habits are coffee and cigarettes and I plan on keeping both =)

I did finally stop biting my nails after nearly 40years when I discovered nail art.

Bite my nails - not as much as I used to, but I still catch myself nibbling.  Growing up, my parents tried all the tricks, didn't work.  In high school I had at least one of my friends in each class, and, after getting 'buy in' from the teachers, my friend would sit behind or beside me in class.  If they saw bitting my nails, they'd smack my arm or shoulder.  It took a couple of months, but it did help.

I will NEVER give up coffee!!!  My family jokes that they will put a coffee mug in my coffin, otherwise I wouldn't look right.  :-)  I have cut back from 15 mugs to 5 or less per day.
