Me? I've recently quit smoking on July 1st, after 8 years. Wanted to know who else has something they've overcome recently/previously and want to share.

okay wait, this fucked me up because I do this. like, you rip off the 'white part' of the nail? or like full out take off the nail and have sausage fingers?

I JUST DID IT WHILE READING THIS TOO.

I think a really bad habit (thats similar to this ) for me, was when I would count EVERYTHING.

I could hear a word like 'tree' and it would be equated to the number 3.

(t = 20th letter in alphabet (2 simplified), R = 18th (9 simplified [8+1]), E = 5th letter, x2 = 10 (1+0=1))

therefore, 2 + 9 + 1 = 3, because 9+any other letter just reverts BACK to the original simplification, so i just ignore it, or i add up the letters that would make 9 (or 18, 27, 36, etc.) together, and simplify it that way.

it fucked me up, but I can do it with ANY word, and i can find mathematical patterns alot easier now. I took the military exam today, and I finished in 15minutes.

I can also do sentences, and some paragraphs.

It's 100% involuntary and I dont know anybody else in my family who does it.

I just really. really. REALLY wish this would end. (Really = 1, try calculating that)
