Here is the real truth about nail biting. There are no quick fixes. You developed this deeply ingrained hard-to-kick habit over many years. In that time, you have created ritual routines you use to support your nail biting habit.
When it comes to quitting, there are a few rare people who permanently quit using sheer will power or with the aid of some product or method. It could be the bad tasting nail polish, it could be hypnosis or even the rubber band trick. The reality for most people is they are stuck with a habit that embarrasses them and that they wish they didn’t have, but they lack the tools to make the change. For most who manage to quit for a while, it only lasts a while. That is, something will come along and trigger a biting session. And, the biter manages to put out of his or her mind that he or she should stop. But, instead goes on to shred one nail or a whole bunch in a fit of biting that leads to shame and depression at the loss of self-control.
It’s true, we are largely made up of what we think about. So, for you to quit, you need to think about having long natural nails. You have to envision it is possible and how they will look on your hands. Most importantly, you have to want to have nice natural nails and to quit biting much more than you want to bite. As long as you have no defense against the powerful urge to bite your nails when you are anxious, bored or whateve else motivates your biting habit, you are going to continue to suffer with ugly bitten nails. Basically, you need a way to win against your nail biting habits. You need to learn a way to manage self-control.
There is good news! You can learn to quit for good. You can learn new habits and techniques that will help you avoid the triggers that initiate your biting routines. You can learn how to identify them and learn ways to avoid letting a nagging hang nail or ragged or chipped nail turn into a regrettable biting session. There are ways to quit for good. You can learn about them in my book, How to Stop Nail Biting. It comes with a 90-day moneyback gurantee. If I can’t help you, I don’t want your money.
I’ll never get rich selling this book, there are too few takers for that . I wrote it to help others. I was blessed to gain some insights how to quit and I pass along what I know to others now. If I am lucky, I will recoup the cost of the investment in the book, blog and Web site in a couple of years. There are better ways to spend your time if money is your only object. This is not one of them.
Treat yourself to new nails in the New Year. In a matter of 8-12 weeks, your nails can look better than they ever have. You have nothing to lost but your nail biting habit.

Hi, i have tried a million things to not bite my nails but nothing works at all! so any advice or suggestions on how to stop would be much appreshiated.
Dear Melina,
Having walked more than a mile in your shoes, I feel your pain and frustration. I’ve said it before, learning how to stop nail biting is one of the hardest things to do. That is, for those who are severely affected. Just like there are moderate drinkers and light smokers, there are heavy drinkers and smokers. The ones with the heavy habits have a much tougher row to hoe than those in the light category. I believe that although nail biting is not an addiction, it has the same powerful sway over those who are afflicted by this dreadful habit. My best advice is to read my book, How to Stop Nail Biting.. It has techniques and products you can use to help you overcome your nail biting habits. If you are truly committed, you can use the methods, products, ideas and inspiration in the book to quit your nail biting. The price is less than the cost of a single nice meal, but the payoff is something that will last forever.
