I'm doing 6 things
Nothing much has changed. I still do it, but I haven’t drawn blood in about ten months now. I’d say I’m satisfied.

I’m not sure if this is a habit I will ever completely break, but it has been much better this year. While I still have days where I chew a lot, I haven’t had any of the really bad sessions-where I draw blood-for about six months now.
Two things have helped. Chewing bubble gum (the gaudy stuff) when I get the urge. If gum isn’t available, I try to focus on resting the tip of my tongue on the roof of my mouth. That’s less effective for me, but it has helped in a pinch, especially when trying to fall asleep.
