Message: Generally it is a self control issue. Try replacing your "bad habit" with something that is constructive. Use your finger tip and not a tool to push back your cuticles. It will keep both hands busy while continuing a healthy practice.
Hope this will work.

Message: The only real answer is self control. How badly do you want to stop? There are no quick fixes to these things. You have to put out the effort and never give up. Give some of these "solutions" a real try. Not just read the response and decide that you "can't" do that. Or "that will take too long and too much effort." If you want to quit you are the only one that will stop the behavior. No one else is biting your nails so find out why you bite them and change your mind set and behavior. No, it wont be easy but YOU ARE YOUR BEST HOPE for lasting results. Best to you what ever you decide.

You are obviously looking for short answers that suite the moment, and for this, there are none. It takes work, dedication, determination, and real drive to defeat our "demons".
May be you should be speaking with a physician if you can't find what you need here.

Message: Anonymous, I feel your pain and your frustration. I chewed my fingernails, the surrounding skin, and the cuticles when the nails were nubs, for my entire life. I'm 46 years old, so that's a lot of nail biting. I had artificial nails applied, and wore them for probably 6 months(with refills and new sets as needed). These became painful to my fingers, because the drills used to drill down my natural nail left me literally with no nail plate. I had the artifical nails removed and OMG my real nails were worse than you can imagine. I had enjoyed having pretty hands and pretty nails, so I searched for help in what I could do to repair the damage done by those drills. I found this site, Fingernailcare.com, and I order the Natural Nails Kit. I applied the growth formula to each finger and gently messaged it in, 1 minute per fingernail. Everytime I felt that urge to put my finger in my mouth and bite a nail(or skin) I got out my growth formula and went thru my ritual. I used the nail strengthener and buffer, and buffed my nails to a high gloss shine. At night, apply the growth formula, message it on each fingernail for 1 minute, then wipe off the excess with a kleenex. That will leave enough residue on your fingers, and you will NOT want to bite on that. Use your wet stone fingernail file to smooth out any rough place on your nails. It works much better than your teeth ever will. I'm proud to report that my nails began to grow, strong, healthy, and now they are soooooooooo long I can't believe they're really mine, but they are. If I can do you...you can do it too. Order these products, use them religiously, and you WILL have fingernails you've always thought were impossible. Also, when you wash dishes or use household chemicals, please wear rubber gloves. Good luck.

Message: I have just made up my mind to stop biting my nails. I have been biting them since I was very little. my mom tried all of the stuff to make me quit but it never worked. I am tryingthe hair,nails, and skin vitamins to see if that might help. To day is just the beginning of a long hard road for me to quit biting my nails.
