my name's rebecca. i doubt you're even mildly interested in the irrelevant aspects of my life, so i'll get to the point. i'm not a professional psychologist nor do i pretend to be, yet i'll try to give you advice based on the common sense that, unlike many others on here, i own ;]

What are some suggetions for getting rid of a bad habit?
Well, one way is to physically stop yourself from doing it. For example, if you bite your nails, they sell polish that purposely smells/tastes really bad so you won't bite.
You could reward yourself for doing it, or punish yourself for not doing it. Like my friend had a problem with cursing, so she wore a rubber band, and every time she cursed, she'd snap her wrist with the rubber band. It's actually a proven technique. Your body will associate cursing (or whatever) with pain. It's how they train dogs.
Or, like I said, you could reward yourself. If you brush your teeth every day for a week, (or whatever), buy yourself a new shirt, or treat yourself to something.
Sorry, I don't know the details of your particular situation :). Good luck
