When I was younger, for some odd reason, I had a
bad habit of biting my fingernails. I would bite my finger nails so much that
they would get too short and irritate the skin under my finger nail. It was
mainly when I was trying to focus on something or pay attention to someone. It
was like I did not even know I was doing it. I would be on the baseball field and
I could hear my mom yell at me from the stands, “Colton, Stop biting your
fingernails!”. My mom would get so mad at me when she saw me doing that because
she knew I would be complaining about it later when it would be hurting.
It
got the point where my dad was getting pissed off at me. He would even threaten
to whoop me if I did not quit biting my finger nails off. That is when I really
started to consider to break this terrible habit. One morning when I woke up I
had a brilliant idea. My younger brother has cold sores on his mouth and we
would always have to buy Abreva to numb his cold sore for the pain. So that
morning, I got up and went to the medicine cabinet at my house and grabbed the
Abreva. I lathered the Abreva on the tips of all my fingers. So that every time
I would go to bite my finger nails, my whole mouth would go numb. Needless to
say, I broke my bad habit within a week. All habits can be broken. Drugs,
Alcohol, etc. are all BAD habits. You can break them. All it takes is self-will
and heart.
