Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop biting your nails after 30 years?

I just can't stop!Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop biting your nails after 30 years?
If youve tried the yucky tasting paint ons then maybe try acrylic nails. If you've paid 拢30 then you'll think twice before biting them and acrylic is pretty hard to nibble at anyway.





Treat yourself to a manicure every week, book and pay for a months worth (that way you have to go or you lose money) just the fact that you'll be showing them to a tech every week might be enough to help break the habit. Explain to the tech that its a lifelong habit and see if they have any hints to help you.Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop biting your nails after 30 years?
Simple, but hard work: It just takes constant willpower to stop biting your nails. You need to be aware of each time that you feel like biting your nails, and figure out in that situation something else you can do instead. For example, each time that you feel like biting your nails, take out a nail file and just gently smooth the edge of the nail, and the urge will pass. Also, make sure you are using hand lotion after each time you wash your hands, which will keep your hands and nails moisturized. You should generally keep your nail edges filed smooth, so that there are no little bits that are tempting to start to bite, and there are no rough parts that will snag on things or break off. After a couple of days you will start to see the difference in the health of your nails, and then you just have to keep at it every day. After about 2 months of not biting your nails, that actually becomes your new habit, and you just have to stay on top of those situations where you want to go back to the comfort of the habit of biting and keep dealing with it.
they have this stuff at walmart, and it looks like clear nail polish---but its not, it is some sort of poison and you put it on like nail polish, then when you go to bite it- it tastes HORRIBLE!!!! ( i know!!)





But you need to put it on again when the coat runs out,, unlike me, (i just didnt use it again, and to this day i bite my nails!)
use nail biting stop. it is so nasty i have the same problem and it actually helps them grow. you reapply twice a day and if it comes off your nails the smell and taste stays on for days. theres no way you can bite them. it's nasty
I don't know but when you find out let me know. I am 49 and bite my nails till they bleed. The nails the cuticles and the skin under the nails. I can not stop.


Good luck!
You can get this clear nail polish that tastes really bad and is meant to stop you from biting them. I'm not sure what it's called, but it helps.
dip them in vinegar, stick them in your ears, or apply some other sort of liquid to them that will make them taste bitter. It'll break the habit.
put tape over your nails/band aids
put those condom thingys for fingers on
