How I did it: Between thinking about the germs and looking at my best friend's beautiful nails, I realized that I should give quitting another chance. I also made a new ritual out of trimming them with a nail clipper (you know, instead of my teeth) and this ritual strengthened my resolve to keep them at an appropriate length! 

Lessons & tips: ALSO it is good to be aware of the vulnerable nail-biting times (for me, I bite my nails when I am bored/studying/nervous). When you are aware of the times when you are likely to bite, it is easier to counteract the vulnerability. For example, bring food to the library, or focus on cleaning/filing your nails instead of biting! 

Resources: FRIENDS WITH BEAUTIFUL NAILS. Seriously...compare your hand to someone's prettier hand. If that isn't motivation, I don't know what is!
