well lets just take it little by little...what do you love to do in your free time maybe you can use them as a distraction..for example i want to become a painter so wenever i feel the urge to pick i begin to paint..so wat do you enjoy doing?

mmm...okay well lets try something different...everytime you feel the need to pick i want you to come on to this site and talk about your day and in return i will do the same...lets see how this works out
