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?
How I did it: I just decided that I was going to stop. I have been biting my fingernails since I could put them in my mouth...and now...no more. I went to Wal-Mart and bought some Nutra Nail. It says it takes 7 days for results, and I didnt know if I could do it, but once they grew out just a little bit, I didn't want to bite them anymore!! Read how I did it…

Lifeluvver All people smile in the same language.
How I did it: Got myself involved in a host of other things. Realised I nibbled when reading a book. Cured that habit by only reading a book while having a relaxing a coffee in Starbucks, etc. Biting one's nails in public just isn't on. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My biggest thing was biting my nails subconsicously. I wouldn't even realize I was doing it and once I had people honestly telling me that it bothered them to watch me do it or to <shudder> hear it, then I became hyper aware of when I was biting them. I paid attention to the activities that I was doing whie biting them and how I was feeling. My mother said I did it because I was nervous, but when I paid attention i… Read how I did it…
SuperBucket tired, lol :P
How I did it: In a way, the (used-to-be) horrible state of my fingernails was debilitating. It was just another hindrance holding me back from being the best I can be.{Plus I have nice nails now ;D} Read how I did it…

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. =]
pmyers8171 is enjoying his summer
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.

Pedernalphia is hopng she got that promotion at work!
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.

ever since i can remeber theres been a finger in my mouth well im going to stop!!
I have recently had acrylic nails put on for my up coming wedding. I am hoping that by having them on I will become more aware of how often I actually used to bite them and hopefully it will help me kick the habit.
