That is the worst sound ever! I can't stand it. :)

But just try not to think of it, or even do what some people do, but an elastic band around your hand, then whenever you're going to crack them, stretch the elastic band and let it go so it hits your wrist.

Im sure that would take your mind off the cracking.Health Question & Answer

Actually, cracking your knuckles will make your fingers stiff as you grow old, so think about that when you crack it. Every time you crack your knuckles, your body can do less when you grow older.

Either that, or slap yourself every time you crack your knuckles and you'll get over it :).

maybe if you find a way to distract yourself... every time you feel tempted to crak your fingers... just start thinking of a specific song. it will keep you concentrated on the song and not your fingers... but dont let this lead you into any other bad habbits like nail biting, finger tapping, etc.Health Question & Answer

Get a big thick fat rubber band and put it on your wrist. every time you go to crack your knuckles snap yourself with it. You will be stopping in no time as the brain will start to associate this with pain.

A lot of people have this habit and never stop..it causes no harm to your fingers but I hate hearing that popping noise when people do it!
Good Luck

Replace it with another habit. Instead of cracking your knuckles, squeeze a stress ball. It takes about 2 weeks of doing something before it becomes a habit. Give it a shot.Health Question & Answer
