Answer 2

You're right. It's simply a habit you need to stop. It won't be easy. I have had a number of bad oral habits in the past. Tongue thrusts, lip l*****g, and even lip sucking (i think?). The way to break these types of thinks is simply to think about them all the time. Keep yourself from biting and keep thinking about it all day. A good piece of advice is to set your cell phone alarm so it goes off ~ 3times a day. When it goes off ask yourself, are you biting your lips or not? If you are than this is your reminder to stop. It takes time! Months! But you can get beyond it!
