Cure/Treatment for Oral Fixation?

Question

There was a thread about this a few years ago, but it never got a definative answer so I'm reopening the topic.

I have a serious oral fixation... i've been putting everything in my mouth since i was a baby and it's starting to irritate me... I eat when im not even remotely hungry, i was addicted to gum, i chewed pencils, pens nails, seat belts, clothes, straws, grass... if it doesnt have a noticable layer of dirt on it, i'll put it in my mouth....

It HAS to stop. I gotta stop eating just for the sake of chewing. Any suggestions? Herbal Remedy? Alternative Medicine? ...Hypnotism? Skydiving? Seriously, i'd almost try anything...

The ONLY thing that ever worked for me (I used to be horrible and now am cured) was getting my tongue pierced. There was something in my mouth 24/7 and I no longer felt the need to put anything in there.
