Answer 1

There are a few things which you can do:

-There is a REALLY disgusting tasting nail varnish you can buy so that you dont put your fingers in your mouth.

-You can also dip your nails in Polish Reamover when your tempt to bite your nails.

-Also get manicures so you'll feel bad when you bite them.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

You could put on nail polish, or reward yourself every day you go without biting them. Or if you're desperate, you could put band-aids on the tips of your fingers.

Answer 4

This may work (or  not) it worked for me.  Try using a daily calcium supplement (calcium D) it is inexpensive and does not need a prescription.  If you are biting your nails due to a calcium deficiency then this will reduce the craving to bite the nails and also strengthen the nails so they are not easy to bite.  It worked for me after biting my nails for many many years at age 68 I started this calcium treatment (for another reason) and within a few weeks by nails were strong and unbitten. If you are bitting the nails because it is a nervous habit then this may not work. It is worth a try.

I have the same problem that you have and am currently trying to quit, tommorow will be 5 weeks:) What I did was I bought stuff called Miracle Cure that I painted on my nails, this tastes really nasty and also helps your nails grow. I found that I usually bite my nails when I'm on the computer or watching a movie so what I did is I just kept a bouncy ball near my computer and threw it up on down to occupy my hands. The first 2-3 weeks are the hardiest after that you pretty much have already quit and are just waiting for your nails to grow in. Good luck!
