  Smoking, biting my nails and a counting OCD. The OCD does reappear sometimes but as soon I notice it I stop it immediately.

  Sugar in my coffee/ tea.
  
  Decided just after Christmas that I didn't want it anymore and haven't looked back.

  Twelve days cold turkey from smoking. I'm very pleased but still fearsomely bad tempered.>:(

  I used to punch random people in the back of the neck.

  It's fab. I can't bear sugar in either now, although it took me till I was forty to give sugar up in my tea, and I managed coffee a couple of years earlier.
  
  I can't understand why I ever had it.

  Sugar in my coffee and salt on my dinner and I don't miss either. In fact, I wonder how I was able to drink/eat my coffee/dinner before.

  I used to bite my nails so much they bled quite a bit, one day at work I bit the nail on my little finger and it caused me great pain for the rest of the day. I decided then and there to quit and I did, I let them grow and then file them down now.

  No offence, but I seriously doubt that is OCD.
  
  OCD is a seriously debilitating illness that I suffer from, not just a repetitive habit

  Fizzy drinks. I used to drink them by the pint. Now I hardly ever touch them, and if I do, it's only half of a small glass.

  Drinking tea. Have it up in the new year. Was a massive tea drinker so had four days of withdrawal headaches.
  Don't miss it at all now. Sleep better, feel calmer and am less anxious and worried all the time.

  I used to scratch my head or play with my hair when I was talking to people I didn't know that well (not deliberately, it was like a self defence mechanism thing of being nervous) but I don't do it as much now (I'm more confident).

  One bad habit I am currently in the process of beating at the moment is constantly using cotton ear buds in my ears even when there is no wax in them.

  Bitting my nails, I haven't done it for over ten years now.
  Fizzy drinks, except for the odd glass of cola when eating out, I don't miss drinking it at home at all.
