Is near a process to stop biting fingernails?
I've been biting my fingernails for years and years. I'm sick of doing it because my nails never grow out, and they look hideous and it's hard to do simple things, approaching open soda cans or other lift cap. I've tried almost every trick in the book: putting hot sauce/bleach/etc. doesn't work because I just can't stand the feeling, the strong smell and own to get it off. Nail polish is tasteless to me and get peeled off with my teeth as I bite them, anyway. Band-aids draw from in the way doing anything and I don't like wasting them. I'm disallowed to chew gum, and it's just too hard to focus on keeping my hands busy adjectives day. Is there something that's not sticky/strong scented I can paint on my nail, or just a way to stop?

I bit my nails for as long as I can remember. I quit by carrying a fingernail file or emery board next to me at all times. When I felt like biting the little rough places on my nail, instead of chewing it off, I filed away! Something else that made me quit was to bath my hand before I chewed my nails. You'd be surprised at how dirty your hand can get from just everyday things. It kinda grossed me out at the filth.
Perhaps you could kill two birds beside one stone and wear a swine flu mask.
One thing to remind yourself is how much germs are under those nails. Just from flushing the toilet you already have traces of fecal event under them. YUCK! Think about that every time you want to bite your nails.
Fingernail polish remover. It taste horrible. It made me stop biting the skin around my nails. Just dip your fingers in it and it should last a while. I purely went back to school, and started doing it again. I might hold to take my own advice if I don't stop. Lol.
Try putting juice soap on it
Honestly, the one entity that worked for me was getting acrylic nails. I am a constant biter...since I was a kid. Once I get acrylic nails...I can't bite them...and my nails are finally pretty! (Underneath the acrylic they are really ugly and bumpy...)
This method prob isnt going to come your way, but it worked for me. I used to bite my fingernails and the area around them for a really long time. Then i got braces and the metal bits attain in the way. Now I realize that I need to clip my nail twice a month because they get extremely long. Since I too had the biting addiction, my 2 index fingers grow slower than the rest of my fingers. You could just stop cold turkey, and whenever you take into custody yourself, pinch yourself as hard as you can. Oh!! And btw, try painting them, that worked for me before I get braces!
