stop biting my nails for good

hot sauce,
hot sauce,
hot sauce…

muahahh ahahahhahahahhaha

my nails… they’re aliiiiiiiiivee.

every time my fingers slightly twitchin to slop in to the ol
mouth.

I think hot sauce.

I am doing this with the intention of
swilling a shot glass of habanaro hot sauce
if my fingernails have not grown by my birthday.

I have one month left now.
Every time my fingernail even gets close to my
mouth, I think about that hot sauce.

shivers

I fear this because i’ve done this silly silly
thing before on another episode of “who’s that drunk guy”

i see my nails growing though
which is cool. But i’m constant picking at them.
which is not.

I stopped biting my nails after i clipped one off
and then realized what I did.

Normally, I would just keep biting on.

This is my first step.

I’ve always chewed my nails and the skin around my fingers since
childhood. It was worse when I was a child when I would take half
of the layer of nail off off my fingers that where my fingernails
used to be would be soft.

Even got to the point when i was a kid at age 12 to spite my father, I bit my index finger joint to the point where it formed a huge scar tissue. (gone now)

Finger nail biting, and skin biting, cuticle biting has been an issue that plagued me for a lifetime. 26 going 27.

I’ve gone 4 weeks without biting once, boy my nails were a beauty, but my cuticles still looked like some sort of battlefield that never wanted to get better.

I’ve tried the polishes, and tries the nasty tasting stuff as well. I just bare through with it.

I look at my fingers and it’s hideous. I mean it’s really hidious. To the point, where when I rock climb it hurts from the pressure it puts on those sensitive spots.

I’m getting married in July of 09. I have 7 months to shape up so that I can get that expensive photographer to take a closeup picture of me putting a ring on my woman’s fingers.
(No, I refuse to photoshop my fingernails. or replace my wedding photo with someone else’s and pretend it’s my hand. chuckles

My fiancee has the same problem.
It’s not that I’m nervous,
it’s just something to nibble on. Perhapse what I need to do is always have a gum in my mouth. But that just makes my jaws tired.

I just don’t know what to do anymore.

If anyone got any ideas, or tips, please send them my way.

They say, you got to be ready to quit smoking if you want to quit smoking.

Well. . . DAMNIT. I’M READY TO QUIT BITING MY NAILS FOR GOOD!!.

Help me with the tools to suceed guys and I will support all your endeavours to quit this habit.

One thing I haven’t tried is keeping a log of what happens.
Or better yet, once I notice I’m gnawing at my fingers, I WILL STOP!.

No more of this, Oh it’s already half taken off. Might as well finish er off. No more I say. No more.

on another note: This does make sense in my strong immune system as I probably have put every kind of germ in my mouth and built a good fighting mechanism in my body.

alas.

Don’t put this habitual gnaw session for a New Year’s Resolution.
Let’s make it NOW. ACT NOW SO WE CAN ALL BE FREE!!

cheers,

charlie
