You see claims like this “Guaranteed Remedy to Stop Nail Biting” all the time. It is easy to want to believe them. Who wouldn’t want a guaranteed remedy to quit nail biting? Read the fine print, the guarantee is if it doesn’t work you get your money back. It is not an iron clad guarantee you will be able to quit biting your nails. If you are like most people who have suffered with this bad habit for years, then you know there is no easy cure. And, if you are honest with yourself, you will also know there isn’t a fix that is guaranteed.
The bottom line is this: you have to want to stop nail biting more than you want bite your nails. Once you have that commitment firmly in your head and heart, you have a chance. Then just about any program will help you get started. It could be hypnosis, bad tasting polish, or good old fashioned will power. They all work about the same once you have some true grit determination in place.
My book, How to Stop Nail Biting, offers techniques to quit now and other techniques you can learn to help you avoid back sliding. I believe you can use the techniques and information to quit forever. However, I also know there is no help, or remedy that will work without your deep desire to quit. So, my book is there to help you quit nailbiting now and avoid relapsing weeks or even months later. At least with my book, you learn to recognize your behavior and learn ways to alter it once you realize you are in danger of starting to bite your nails again. Besides desire, awareness is the biggest factor in successfully quitting your nailbiting habits for good.
The hardest part of learning how to quit nail biting is not the initial stopping period. Granted, for some folks that is extremely difficult. Nevertheless, the harder part is weeks or months later when your nails start growing and begin to look pretty decent. Invariably, something triggers your lifelong habit to put your fingers in your mouth. Before you realize what is going on, you’ve whittled away in a few unguarded moments what took weeks to accomplish. When the depression and guilt of that experience kick in, it is quite easy to throw in towel and start chewing your nails all over again.
What I have found researching the Internet is there are a few very aggressive marketers who resort to cheap search engine optimization tricks to get traffic to their sites. These same operators usually are the ones with fantastic claims about learning to quit in a few minutes. They will look for content and republish as their own. I just found the most recent post before this one repeated verbatim on some blog site setup to create content and links to my post. Like I said before, it is a cheap trick to take someone’s copy and republish as your own. Usually these sites are thrown together and look awful and amateurish at best. The marketer doesn’t care, he is looking for more links to his “sale” page.
Here is the bottom line for you. Don’t fall prey to some marketers wild claims about learning to quit immediately. If you think about it for more than a minute or two, you will know this is not going to happen. The marketer will promise to give your money back, but he is really hoping you won’t bother to ask when his “miracle” cure doesn’t work.
I do not expect you to quit the first time you try after reading my book. I am a realist. I know how hard it is to quit and that if you are determined, it might likely take more than one attempt to gather enough desire and practice useful techniques to help you guard against a relapse. How ever you do it, best wishes for learning how to stop nail biting for good.
