I need help with a weird addiction.?!

chewing gum.. suckers... something else to occupy your mouth with a similar movement... I'm guessing you do it because you are stressed.? Maybe take up on some meditation or something like that, or go do something physical to let off the steam.

Good luck and God bless!Health Question & Answer

wow i read the question and i thought about my odd addiction to chewing the side of my cheek. I do that very often and was actually doing it when i was on here reading Yahoo!Answers. I dont know how to stop it other than chewing gum or occupying yourself, but like others have said that still doesnt always help either.

Good luck b/c I try to stop but I always go back to doing it.Health Question & Answer

that's funny because i thought i was the only one who did this. i do it until my mouth is raw and bleeding. it's so gross and i normally do it when i am bored or stressed.

sometimes i'll chew gum. but, that doesn't always help.

good question.Health Question & Answer

I do that too! Its very annoying because I just can't help it.
I'd suggest just trying not to think of it, maybe chew gum or find something to occupy you when you find yourself doing that.Health Question & Answer
