I bought a pack of gum and every time I felt the urge to bite my fingernails, I chew on gum. It helps a lot. My fingernails are starting to grow and hopefully when it does grow, I will no longer bite on them anymore.

Yucky, yucky

I don’t know how I’m ever going to make this one happen. I’ve tried the nasty-tasting stuff. I eat it anyway. I’ve tried getting beautiful manicures. I scrape the polish off with my teeth on purpose. I’ve tried the spicy-hot-pepper-juice thing. I grew up on Cajun food, so that’s no good. I’ve tried gloves, but I have to actually get things done at home and if I wear gloves that are thin enough to let me do work, I CHEW THROUGH THEM! I’ve even gotten so desperate that I’ve tried hypnosis. I definitely felt more relaxed but I chewed my nails to bits when I watched 24 later that night. Is there a solution to this? I’m determined to stop biting my nails by the time that I turn 35 years old on February 7, 2017.

Well… its been 2 weeks since I decided to stop biting my nails.. and I only have the urge when I am reading a book. I wouldn’t say I am cured yet.. I need to come up with an idea to not bite them when I am reading..
Any ideas?

Jensom is figuring things out.
I don’t think I can remember a time when I haven’t bitten my fingernails. They’re so low now, I can barely open anything, and it’s frustrating me to pieces. This is my first ever goal on here, and I figured it was a good place to start. =]

I stop biting all of my nails except for my thumbnails on a normal day, but as soon as I go to the movies (and finish my popcorn,) they’re all gone. It’s sad, and it’s like breaking a totally different habit. The coating I put on my nails (which tastes terrible) is easy to wear on a normal day, but if I tried to eat popcorn with it on, I’d have sour popcorn and a sick stomach by the end of it. Ehh.

I’ve been biting my nails for as long as I can remember, even as a little kid. My doctor says that it may be an anxiety habit, but i needs to stop. I bit my nails all the way down to the quick, and sometimes even further than that. So now I shall look up ways to try and quit, and hopefully I shall succeed!

i seem to have random spurts of when i can actually accomplish this. they’ll get really pretty and long and i think to myself “i have no desire to bit them.” then the next day i’ve nibbled them all off.
it tends to happen when im stressed or nervous most often.
i’ve tried the bad tasting nail polish and regular nail polish. they don’t really seem to work for me.
