Any ideas for quitting the fingernail biting habit?

Question by Kaylin: Any ideas for quitting the fingernail biting habit?
I am eighteen years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have always bitten my nails. This is a habit that is shared by many in my family, however most of the females I am related to stopped when they were about fourteen (my grandmother, my mother, my sister.).

My habit has continued despite that, and sometimes I bite without even realizing that I’m doing it. I’ve drawn blood before, or sometimes just bitten them down so much that they hurt. I haven’t had any luck in my efforts to quit, though I would like to.

Does anybody have any suggestions that might help me stop biting them? Thanks!

You can try stopping biting on one nail at a time that way you can do one at a time and it doesnt seem like a big task to achieve?

On the other hand there are aids you can buy in the chemist to help you. It comes in a pot and is usually situated where the Manicure and nail care things are. You dip your nails into it and when you then try to bite them afterwards the taste is horrible so you stop. Its an old psychological classical conditioning to put you off biting them, so then it becomes a habit not to bite.

Question by : Any good advice on quitting fingernail biting?
I have been biting my fingernails ever since I can remember. It’s more habit now than anything, not a nervous reaction or anything like that. Secondly, my nails seem to be super thin. When they grow to a certain point, they buckle and eventually break before getting a real good chance to grow.

So my questions are, does anyone have any good sure fire advice on quitting? Are there any products that can “thicken” a finernail so they can grow stronger and last much longer? And, how can I overcome the “need” and break this nasty habit?

Thanks all.
