Can't quit sucking my teeth?

I have marks inside my lip from it, don't know why I can't stop. Sometimes I hold my mouth to keep from it, painful

    Stress...that's probably your nervous tick. I peel off my nails until it goes too far...painful as well. It's not really something you can stop, except maybe to find something else to do to relieve stress. It's a habit and habits are hard to break. Still haven't broken mine, so I am not really any help on that part. If you are really worried, you could consult a physician about it. Good luck.
