I've tried to just stop... but whenever I stop paying attention my body automatically does it. Thank you in advance!

well it's all self control and habit like any habits you have to work at it! next time you notice you naturally craking your knuckels stop don't finish the hand your on just stop...
if you continue to do this you will start to see your patternen when you want to crack them and when you naturally crack them... and when you naturally crack them think about what you were doing before you started cracking them once you notice another pattern stop doing it!
eg i crack my fingureright before i type naturally so i have to stop typeing... <-- not really but pay more attention before i type to ensure i don't crack my knuckles.. do this for about 3-6 months and youshould be done with the cracking!
:)
Mad luv

Put a dollar in jar every time you crack your knuckles and when you're done at the end of the month give it to charity.
Do it again the next month.
You will stop cracking your knuckles when you choose to stop.

Yes, if you break every other finger, then I promise you will stop cracking your knuckles.

I've been plagued with habits like this all of my life. I've found that the only way to stop one habit is to start a new one that's not as harmful.

well... i agree with the guy up there, i put a quarter in a jar for every time i cussed, then at the end of the month i would give the jar to a friend that might have needed the money... it worked loll!
Good luck

well if you are so used to doing it, it will be hard to quit. Try to cut down if you can. I was told by a doctor that this does not cause arthritus, but it can be annoying to others. It may also make your knuckes bigger. (my boyfriends doc said the same thing)

wear a ring or braclet to remind you that way when you start to crack you feel the object and stop!
