Why does poking gums feel so good? And how do I quit it?

My habit is strange. It started when I flossed. I was flossing and hit a sweet spot. It was painful, but at the same time, it felt really good. Sooner or later, I started poking that same spot on my gum over and over and it became a habit. I know it will soon damage my gums, but I can't stop it at all. I tried quitting, but I kept coming back to poking it after a week max.

I haven't met anyone who is in the same situation before, so I guess it is a rare case. According to yahoo, the sweet spot can be anywhere on the gums. Don't go looking for it though. Once you find it, you'll keep poking it like there's no tomorrow.
