Nail Biter's Anonymous...

Having stopped for two weeks I have been very proud of myself and my lovely nice long nails but now, due to stress I'm seriously considering biting them, I can't resist!

put something nasty on your nails, like you could dip them in vinegar or something like that and you wont be so tempted to bite :wink:

I know how difficult it is to control yourself when its a habit like that but try to think right Im not going to do this! and repeat it to yourself!

I would wear false nails but it just gives me something else to chew! I used some of the nasty tasting stuff to break the habbit but now! ARGH!

I conquered nail biting by carrying around a pair of nail clippers for a week. Whenever I felt like biting, I cut my nails instead! And it's stuck for life (I did this in Year 5).

yeah that tends to work, but vinegar isn't strong enough. Go to superdrug and you can get this crazy stop-nail-biting stuff. You put that on your nails and you WILL stop (you'll probably also develop a hatred for all food eaten with your hands at the same time too though....). It's really disgusting stuff. Even thinking about it makes me feel sick (3 years later!!).

I don't personally see the point in stopping - I bite mine and they look just fine. Keeps the muck out of them and you can't break a nail either, which I'm informed is extremely painful: everyone wins. :biggrin:

Well... if you accidentally rip off any skin it can and will get infected at the first opportunity. And biting your nails might not do much to your nails but it hasn't been nice for my teeth. :frown:

I've stopped now though. Yay!

Sometimes I bite my nails to make them shorter, but because it hurts my teeth I mostly bite the skin around my nails. I can't stop!

This is a bollucks problem btw, why it needs a post on here i will never know. Its biting your nails, it meaningless, use the slightest bit of brain power, and you MIGHT be able to stop.......
