I am a terrible nail biter, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any good remedies for it?

Re: Nail Biting
Hey there Serendipity,
My girlfriend used to do that. She was more prone to do it when something was bothering her or she was nervous. One day I simply asked her to stop because her hands are much prettier with longer nails. She had the willpower and stopped. In answer to your question many pharmacies carry something to put on children's fingers to keep them from sucking fingers and thumbs. I think it has a bitter taste. My sister used it on one of her boys and it seemed to work. You might try it. Brgrman

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double minded man, unstable in all he does. (Romans 8:28) 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? |

Re: Nail Biting
Yea, i will have to look into that stuff. I've considered getting my nails done because I won't be able to bite them if they're done up. I realize they mess up your nails a bit, but what's the difference if I chew them to the stubbs anyway?
I have generally fidgety and compulsive. Half the time I don't even realize I am picking or biting my nails until it's too late! |

Re: Nail Biting
I do the same. I forget about them for the longest time. Then before I know it, they are gone again. Good luck. Mine are growing again. Just trying to stay conscience of it.

Re: Nail Biting
I like the idea of getting them done over putting stuff on them.
The drawback is that trying to lift with longer nails was tough for me. I had artificial nails put on in August and I did OK for about 6 weeks but they got in the way as they got longer. I popped a couple off then gave up. Now they are really weak so I am letting them get a little stronger before I try again. Next time I am getting them short. |

Re: Nail Biting
when i was younger, i used a 'polish' called stopzit or something like that. it tasted horrific...mom said when i was a thumb-sucker, the stuff wouldn't even faze me, but it worked better during my later years [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
would work just as well for nail-biting, i'm sure!

Re: Nail Biting
Well, as I said before I'm really quite unaware that I'm doing it until it's too late. Obviously, if it were merely a matter of "just stopping" I would have thought of that by now.
