This evening, after discovering I have misplaced my cell phone...I found myself slipping into the other bad habit.. of picking my cuticles.
What a compulsion. And what unspoken thoughts fed into that behavior! I could not stop the worrying at my imperfections..
What masterpiece of words and understanding can come out of these destructive habits that feel so familiar and yet so painful?
I find this so perplexing~ sigh.
One other thing was that I didn't like the pain of having bitten down to the quick nails. They hurt. And also looked terrible. I quit in my teens. The obsession to bite was gone. Maybe there is a 12 step program for biters.
ReplyDeleteA twelve step program for biters! You make me smile.
ReplyDeleteBut really, this is just another addiction, is it not?
