How do I stop picking my face

I have very slight acne problems (minor blackheads and a few big pimples)… however, I pick at my skin terribly and it makes my acne TERRIBLE. It covers my whole face and takes weeks to go away. I need advice on how to stop picking. Half of the time I do not realize I have picked until it is over, or I physically cannot make myself stop. I have tried pimple patches and they work great… but I am a broke college student and I cannot afford them at the rate I go through them!

Please give me tips on how to stop, it’s such a terrible feeling :/
