Carry knitting/crochet around in a bag, and do it all the time, then you won't be biting them as your fingers will be busy.
And you will have a lovely new scarf soon...

i also have been biting my nails, but since i had teeth i swear, my mom remembers me doing it when i was really little watching tv. so like 20 some years already. I have on occasion been able to stop for a few months at a time but i always seem to go back to doing it. I have tried the stuff that tastes bad and it does not work for me, i try putting polish on and usually go through that as well. The only thing that i find that works is mind over matter, which i believes works well in a lot of situations. Right now i have not bit them for about 2 months, so i am doing good, I just have to always be aware of what i am doing and the second i try to do it i stop myself just tell myself that i don't want to and I stop. So i suggest just be more aware of yourself and everything you do, tell yourself you don't want to or need to do it. Once you have a little growth it is a lot easier, cause they look better. Good luck, i have been struggling for a long time, but i kicked smoking just telling myself i didn't like it in one day so i have hope for me.

Yeah, its a hard habbit to stop. I do it still sometimes also..
You can find this stuff that can go on your nails, and when you try to bite them, this nasty taste comes into your mouth.

I had bought some really bad tasting liquid that I put on my nails and every time I put my fingers in my mouth it would taste really disgusting. It worked!

hmm i have that problem as well! the ONLY thing i can think of that worked for me is getting some acrylics on, chew gum, and stop thinking about NOT biting them, cause thats going to cause you TO bite them.....ethier that or dip your fingers in something nasty so everytime you bite them they taste gross, but thats the LAST resort.....good luck and happy holidays!!!!!!!!!

just cut your nails, biting your nail's come from stress, bad nerves.

This is a nervous habit, relaxing and calming through self hypnosis might help. http://www.impactpublishinginc.com/tape-nail.htm
