I'm 38 female. i have a bad habit chewing on the inside of my mouth. i want and need to stop doing this, but how? help!

Two things: A dentist may be able to provide you with a device to limit the extent to which this can occur, but the second suggestion is probably more relevant. If you continue to do this and are aware of its negative connotations, then perhaps seeing a therapist to determine why you do this would be beneficial. Good luck.
