I'm having a similar problem, I pick at my nails and occassionally bite them but don't swallow. I agree its very hard. Sometimes I can go awhile without messing with them. One suggestion is to get a manicure done (home or professionsally), you won't want to bite them off because they look so pretty.

It is a very hard to break habit. Glad to hear you don't swallow. It is a nervous habit at that. Did it as a child and quit for 30+ yrs. After having nail tips done professionally for a wedding, I found myself biting them all over again to remove the tips glued on and it is just as hard to stop now as it was before, thirty years ago. Go figure? I am much to old to do this yet! But I have noticed another my age too, so it isn't unheard of. Best of luck to you in quiting but once you do try not to start up again as I did.

I save my finger and toe nails. I put them in empty aspirin containers. So far I have 22 containers, and when I opened the first, oldest container, it was green mold like stuff inside, and the nails were soft and stinky. I'm trying to see if I can be in the record books for having the most saved nails, and being a gross individual. I might try to smoke some, just to see what happens. I told this to my friend so she could stop biting- I said scratch your private area, and your behind so she won't bite, the smell will be to overwhelming.

biting your nails is really gross, and a disgusting habit.
I was working on a public computer. and the woman next to me was biting her nails, and then typing on the keyboard. i make a point to avoid that one.
She bites her nails everywhere. It is really gross, and I completely avoid her.
Stop by:
1. realizing how gross it is (check)
2. realizing that others are grossed out
3. sit on your hands
4. think about where your hands have been (on that doorknob, that that guy who didnt wash his hands after going to the bathroom touched... and now they are in your mouth)
5. have self control
6. reward your self for avoiding it.
7. good luck!

Maybe you should keep them polish or go to the nail salon and get them done with acryclic. I used to bite my nails and I started keeping them polish and getting them down.

try getting acrylic nail tips, when you spend alot of money on nails you might think twice before biting them off. keep the nail tips short though.
