I do have one negative coping habit (I'll call it a habit since it isn't a very good one) that I can't seem to stop. That's grinding my teeth and shifting my jaw during the daytime. It's sort of a comfort habit, but does harm to my teeth and really doesn't look that appealing to others who spot me doing it. Sometimes I stop for a while, but I come back to it. I don't think I used to do it way back when I used alcohol for self-medication.
