Question: i cant stop ever since i started its been an addiction!


Answers: i cant stop ever since i started its been an addiction!

I used to crack all the time, but when I heard you can get arthritis and other things it really disgusted me. I don't know if this is any better, but when I had the urge to crack them, I would interlock my fingers and bend the other way.. sort of how people react when they are stretching. This eventually broke my knuckle cracking habit. Now I don't crack at all, and I am completely disgusted when people do! The sound.. ahhh! It does hurt a lot though when they accidentally crack. Also, you could try the rubber band trick. If you don't know what it is already, you put a rubber band around your wrist and everytime you have the urge to crack your knuckles you snap the band.

Oh! I also did read somewhere (reliable) that putting quarters in between your fingers helps. I never tried it though.

Good luck! :)

ahh i crack my back and neck all the time!!!
its adicting.

but just like try to forget abouttt cracking your nuckles.
thats what i do :)

i suggest vigorous physical excersize to take your mind off of it, thats what doctors reccomend fro pretty much any bad habit

i had the same problem a little while ago but i ended up stopping by everytime i thought about doing it, i would think about a completely unrelated topic, sit on my hands or scrunch them into fists so i couldnt crack them.
its really hard at first but eventually you'll just stop thinking about it. good luck =]

Everytime you catch yourself doing it, pinch yourself. Eventually, you'll equate cracking with pinching and you'll stop. It worked for me.

will power,overcome the problem sort it and this will help you in life,be strong minded.also if you don't break the habit,you may get arthritis.

why would you want to stop. its good for you!

I WALK in to kiss my 8 yr old at night and she does it in her sleep all night long! I am always telling her to stop through out the day

Think about complete disability in the hands in the near future. Wrap your hands in gauze or an ace bandage for a whole day, and see how it feels. That should do the trick, because without functional hands, you can't do crap!

Have a knuckle money box. I used to crack my knuckles and my piano teacher was outraged. Anyway, she had a knuckle money box in front of the piano, classroom and when ever we are socialising. You place $2 everytime you crack your knuckles, very soon when you are poor, you will think twice, and then you will get use to not doing it.
