...I've managed to go 53 days now without pulling my hair (I did snap off an end of one on Friday, but it was so small I'm not sure if it "counts")...

...but...

...I've been noticing that I've been picking at the skin on my face more and more recently. I did that before I stopped pulling, but I only ever did it when I was in front of a mirror and could see the dry skin/scab. Now I'm doing it when I'm not in front of a mirror as well, and it's left quite a few red marks - I don't know how long it's going to take for them to go away. I've been peeling the skin from my lips as well, and I realised today that I'm doing it at times when I'd normally have been pulling my hair.

What's the point in quitting if I'm just going to replace it with something else?
