I bit my nails for 30 years before I stopped. One day I looked at my fingers and told myself "this is stupid." I decided then and there to quit. Every time I put my fingers in my mouth to bite I would remember my resolve. It takes some getting used to, especially if you have jagged edges on your nails from biting them. Get a file and smooth them out, and make a conscious effort to quit. You can do it!

It is very difficult. I pick at mine instead of biting. My Ex stopped my daughter (now 41) from biting hers when she was about 16.
She told her I will buy you a Diamond ring if you stop. Bam! No more biting. She stopped biting and now picks at her eyelashes.
Back to your question. First of all you need to keep the fingers from your mouth, and eyes. You can catch more colds, flue, and even other diseases if you contiue to keep your fingers in your mouth. "Think about it"? When I worked in the Lab and an HIIV patient came in for testing I would have to suit up, so to speak with mask and eye protection. If one drop of blood were to splatter into my eye, the eye wash we had, you would still be too late...The next time your fingers enter your mouth, just think what you have toached, the handshakes, the hugs from friends, or whatever. If I were rich I would give you a "diamond" also..LOL.

If you like the look of artificial nails, go have some put on. The price alone should keep you from gnawing on your nails.

Not a joke, but pick at your behind.
