Interesting. The day those birds came to me is when this thread was posted I think. So that's what they were trying to say. You remember my PM about that? ^_^ Stay strong Fizz. As one if the above posters said, it isn't "behaving" it's giving yourself the respect that you need. I know giving in can sometimes be tempting, but when it comes to any form of addiction, here's what has helped me.

Whenever a urge is hitting you, consider the addiction. Honestly.
Now ask yourself this:
"Is this improving me, or my life?"
And if it isn't, ask yourself this:
"Is this harming me, or my life?"
(if for some weird reason the addiction is beneficial, ask yourself if the addiction to the thing is good. Usually isn't, otherwise why would you be trying to break it? And addictions are 99% of the time bad anyways)

Now ask yourself this:
"Am I really going to be hurting myself again? Why?"

That is the first step to breaking it. Figure out why it's so tempting. Then you can use that info, and strengthen your resolve, and try to fix that lack of whatever you have, with something other than self harm.

Hope this helps you Fizzyo. I'll be there for ya. ^_~
