Any nail biters? Has anyone ever been able to successfully kick the habit?
I stopped for a month, once! A whole month! But then it came back. I don't do it when I have fake nails on, though, which is a relief.

I stopped for a month when I went to America without the family. That's the only time I can remember not biting my nails.
If I've ever been able to stop, it hasn't been for very long!
I bit my nails from about age 7 to age 19. I decided one day I was tired of my nails looking so nasty so I forced myself to stop, and I haven't done it since.
It's an incredibly disgusting habit actually, but you don't realize it until you let your nails get long and see how much nasty stuff gets under them.
I bit my nails for a year or so, then I stopped.
It's like a reflex sometimes :(
That's my problem. I don't even realize when I do it. I do it when I'm scared, anxious, and especially bored. My classmates in lectures must think I'm trying to bite my fingers off.Quote:

remember that episode of rocko's modern life where he was gnawing on the mannequin foot he found in the dumpster?
i am a chronic nailbiter.
I do it, and I have no intention of stopping :aimsmile:
I bit my nails all the way up until about the 8th grade. Then I got braces. If you want to know a good way to kick a bad habit, find a way to make it so you can't do it for two years. Not only do I not bite my nails now, I don't even really know how. I think my nails got stronger since then (either that or my teeth have dulled slightly. Maybe it's both).Quote:

Like, I think Dark Knight was a record 8-nails, for example. Harry Potter 6 was only 5.
I bit my nails for a while in middle school, but I successfully kicked the habit.
When I was 7 my parents promised to take me to Rainbow's End if I stopped biting my nails. Obviously they didn't think I'd stop because when I did they never took me to Rainbow's End.
I still wait patiently, hoping.
ive started using my knife when i bend one back
