The best thing to do (and this goes for other things such as smoking) is to find something ELSE to do. "Whatever your hands find to do" as the saying goes. Build a boat in your basement like Jethro Gibbs. Work out -a lot! Find something to do that occupies your time! Idol hands truly is the devils work shop and simply closing your eyes, while your hands and forehead are sweating, and praying as the sole means of fighting an urge will do little to curb anything.

Going out to build a boat or taking a cold shower may take your mind off the habit momentarily, but does it give victory over it?

The praying and fasting are directed toward God. It's His Spirit in us that helps us to crucify the flesh. Paul stated that he "dies daily". What do you think he is dying to? Certainly he is still breathing while he says that he is dying daily.
