you can avoid it by self discipline and determination. divert your mind to wards some physical work when the urge to scratch comes. get away from the location immediately, if you can not do that due to some reason, perform deep breathing exercises and concentrate on the air going in and out of lungs. these can be done when you have strong desire to quit the habbit. Good luck
