I want to stop biting my nails

all the acrylics came off…two fell off and the rest were taken off. I do have some nice white tips now! I got a manicure and will hopefully keep them out of my mouth. So far so good…been 2 days without a fake-free-finger-nail nibble. Boo Yeah!

I just got some acrylics… Lets see if I can have them last 1 week

No wait.. a little more…little more…. All gone! Thats the hardest part in trying to stop. I find a snag and have no file around or am driving and cant take BOTH hands off the wheel and think I’ll just get this one little bit and it’ll be ok! WRONG! That’s how I get all the nails down… I slip away into some sort of trance and before I know it my little white tips are back down to the quik again. I remember as a kid seeing my mom bite her nails and wanting to be just like her I tried it – she caught me doing it and immediately told me to stop and pushed my hand away from my mouth. Do you think I listened? 25 years later I am still here with little barely there nails and a terrible habit! I have been trying for years to stop… I’d do ok for about a month then wake up and my nails are gone or go see a scary movie and walk out and they are gone, I have done the ‘no bite’ bitter polish, the strenghtening polish, put falsies on – Even then you would think I wouldnt be able to bite, but even more fun, I can chew those off and after a week of not biting I have a gold mine for my teeth’s delight! I do usually restrain myself from biting for a few days after the falsies come off but never the less, hand to mouth ready set bite! sigh
