I thought I was the only one!

i've probably picked at my lips at one time or another. if i did i probably quit that and went to a less tender part because of the pain and discomfort of it. i've picked just about everywhere else and have managed to quit, finally, well at least for a good bit so far, but far enough that i feel i've beaten it even though i still have urges. i've gone 68 out of 71 days without picking and i did it be getting serious about it once and for all. i've written more about it elsewhere here and at stoppickingonme.com but the gist of it is, it is possible to quit if your truly want to. it's not easy. you must be committed. it might take help re therapists, medication, and many tactics, but wanting to is the most important aspect.

Me too! I thought there can't be other people with this weird habit..... but we're not alone! My picking has advanced to eating it too, and I figured i need some answers. I have tried will power too, that alone for me dooesn't work either. I will literally be screaming at my self( to myself) to stop and i will just keep doing it. I am going to get the book on this website and give it all of my honest effort! Good luck to you :)
